Overview of the PEM (Planetary Evolution Model)
The objective of the “Planetary Evolution Model” is to develop numerical climate models to simulate the past environments of Mars, explain the observed landforms, and, on this basis, better understand the past environment on Mars and its evolution.
To accurately simulate the climate and the fate of volatiles for thousands to millions of years we must couple physical processes with very different timescale, ranging from clouds microphysics and atmospheric dynamics (represented in the GCM) to the evolution of lakes, glacier accumulation, and subsurface ice evolution.
