Scientific paper

In the most strongly favored of the scenarios presently considered for Martian atmospheric evolution, oxygen fractionation by escape into space is diluted by exchange by a nonatmospheric reservoir as polar ice-water deposits exchange with atmospheric water over geologic time. The exchange of oxygen between atmospheric CO2 and H2O may account for the fractionation observed between those two species. Observations and numerical modeling efforts that may test the present results are suggested.
