Scientific paper

Stability of hydrous sulfates and chlorides of Ca, Mg, and Fe as well as goethite in the uppermost (below 50-100 meters) ice-free desiccated regolith layer on Mars has been theoretically analyzed by chemical thermodynamic methods. Latitudinal and depth zonality of hydrate stability have been predicted based on those evaluations. The results show that ice-free desiccated regolith could contain relatively high contents of bound water even in the equatorial region.
