Scientific paper
The possibility of creating a habitable environment on Mars via terraforming is discussed. The first step is to determine the amount, distribution, and chemical state of water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The process of warming Mars and altering its atmosphere naturally divides into two steps: in the first step, the planet would be heated by a warm thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, while the second step would be to convert the atmospheric carbon dioxide and soil nitrates to the desired oxygen and nitrogen mixture. It is concluded that life will play a major role in any terraforming of Mars, and that terraforming will be a gradual evolutionary process duplicating the early evolution of life on earth.
