摘要：

The evaporite deposits in the Meridiani Planum region on Mars, investigated by the Opportunity rover vehicle, have been interpreted as evidence for the presence of a fluctuating water table. But there is a problem: there is no topographic basin in this region to account for the presence of evaporates in the first place. A new hydrological modelling study circumvents this difficulty by presenting a mechanism by which evaporites could have formed at Meridiani without the need for water to collect in an enclosed basin, as a result of sustained global groundwater upwelling and evaporation.
