Scientific paper

Unique models have yet to be devised for water evolution in the terrestrial planets, despite recent evidence of a Martian D/H ratio which is higher than terrestrial. One of the major uncertainties is the role of external impacts, especially those of comets, as additional sources of water; this places a high value on future observations' accurate determination of such isotopic ratios as O-17/O-16 and O-18/O-16 in both CO2 and water. In the case of Mars, it would be very useful to measure the D/H ratio in the nonexchanging polar ice.
