Abstract

The lake stages in Jezero are consistent with semiarid climates The Jezero lake was a throughflow lake driven by significant surface runoff Hydrological conditions do not favor large-scale evaporite deposition Similar climates at Jezero and Gale produce contrasting lacustrine environments
