'First tree on Mars:' Scientists measure greenhouse effect needed to terraform Red Planet
"The atmospheric conditions existing on Mars today make the existence of life impossible."
What is the amount of greenhouse warming required to heat up the cold climes of Mars enough so that trees can grow on the Red Planet?
New research points to how much you’ve got to jack up the carbon dioxide (CO2) on Mars to support plant growth, to raise the planet’s temperatures just enough for trees to grow.
global warming on Mars will be a whole different story. And I don't think they're fully certain of dangers that exist there yet but eventually we'll find out
Its such a interesting idea to terraform Mars. I hope that its possible and that we can colonize mars 🚀
I am not big into that stuff. Space is an area I dont follow closely (although I am increasing my consumption).
To me, space manufacturing is problem the first major industry that excites me.
Yeah I dont know much either but its a exciting topic.
Just look at how much attention SpaceX draws :)
Energy balance
This futuristic plant growing scenario is led by Robert Olszewski, a professor at Warsaw University of Technology in Poland. He and research associates have led a look at the surface energy balance at Mars, such as the diffusive exchange of heat between carbon dioxide condensation and evaporation, heat exchange with the subsurface, and the transport of heat by atmospheric circulation.
