High energy H/H+ ion precipitation into Mars' upper atmosphere in the vicinity of strong crustal magnetic field anomalies is modeled and discussed. Such particle transport has previously been modeled for Earth for more uniform magnetic field conditions and we have extended this work for the Martian ionosphere using different cross sections for relevant Martian "background" species. Solar wind protons as well as pick-up ions from the planetary exosphere routinely enter and alter the upper atmosphere. A study of the ionization, excitation, and energy deposition is conducted. The result is a detailed examination of the influence of energetic ion transport on the Mars upper atmosphere.
