"Sustained wetidry cycling on early Mars" - Curiosity Rover finds possible pre-conditions for 'life' on Mars.
"On the basis of this evidence for wetidry cycling within surface environments, and considering the delivery of organics and accumulation of volatiles on the Martian surface for almost a billion years prior (Fig.4), our findings suggest that the NoachianiHesperian transition period could have been favourable for the emergence of lifeipossibly more so than the earlier Noachian eon with its potential for perennially wet surface environments."
