Abstract:Mars preserves a rich record of multiple geological processes since its formation, providing a unique window into the longterm evolution of planetary habitability.However, the understanding of Martian recent geological processes (since the Amazonian) and habitable environmental evolution is still relatively weak, which constrains a comprehensive view of the overall trajectory of habitability on Mars and makes it difficult to clarify the mechanisms behind key transitions and the causes of its current environment state.Recent geological processes, such as volcanic activity, impact events, aqueous & glacial activity, and aeolian processes, not only directly shaped Mars' present-day surface environment, but also recorded the recent history of its climatic and geological changes.These processes thus constitute crucial evidence for revealing the characteristics and driving mechanisms of habitability evolution during the later stages of Mars.In this paper, we systematically summarize recent research progress on major geological processes since the Amazonian, discusses the key factors controlling the evolution of habitable environments, preliminary constructs an index 基金项目:对外技术合作科研(航天)项目(ZA09); 国家自然科学基金项目(Nos.42241111, 42272274, 42202262); 天问三号 任务关键技术攻关项目(No.TW3004).作者简介:黄琪(1998-), 男, 博士研究生, 主要从事行星地质学研究.
