Mars was once wet - SMH 24-Nov-09

In today's Sydney Morning Herald -

Quote:
A new detailed map of Mars shows what was likely a vast ocean in the north and valleys around the equator, suggesting that the planet once had a humid, rainy climate, according to research published on Monday.

It turns out that our library doesn't have JGR Part E (planets) which is where it would be. They subscribe to every other part of JGR .

Typical....I can get every journal article, up to and including the year 1994 (for planets), after that it's just abstracts. What's the use of subscribing to a journal when you go and do that??!!!.

Going to have to have a talk with the library!!!!
