<p>Recent research by Professor Joseph MICHALSKI, a geologist in the Department of Earth Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has revealed intriguing insights into the volcanic activity on Mars. He proposes that Mars has significantly more diverse volcanism than previously realised, driven by an early form of crust recycling called vertical tectonics. The findings, recently published in <em>Nature Astronomy,</em> shed light on the ancient crust of Mars and its potential implications for understanding early crustal recycling on both Mars and Earth.</p>
