[edit] Abstract

The layered terrain of the Martian poles must capture evidence of past events and processes extrinsic to the Martian environment itself. These include: solar radiation and cosmic rays; impacts by comets and asteroids; meteorites from the terrestrial planets; and perhaps even traces of visits by extra-Martian intelligences. The purpose of this paper is to outline the mechanisms behind such traces, and the scientific objectives to be achieved by their study.
