Scientific paper

Studies of the shergottites, nakhlites, Chassigny, and ALH 84001 have provided valuable information on the origin, evolution, and interaction of martian volatile reservoirs. Understanding these reservoirs provides the broadest possible context within which to consider the possibility of life on Mars, and thus such studies are an important component of the quest for addressing issues related to a martian biosphere. The purpose of this work is to outline some of the important insights into martian volatiles provided by studies of martian meteorites, and to highlight inconsistencies and gaps in our knowledge that could be addressed by further research on the meteorites themselves, or by future missions, including sample returns. This is by no means meant to be an exhaustive review of all that has been learned from studies of volatiles in martian meteorites. Rather, it is intended to highlight major conclusions and to stimulate discussion about "what we really know."
