Kenneth Field has updated his beautiful topographical map of Mars. (Is There) Life on Mars instantly includes the pick to add together lakes, seas too oceans too plow the ruby planet partly light-green (read the 'details' for an explanation equally to why H2O on Mars wouldn't seem blue)).

The map's novel H2O layer allows yous to add together H2O to the surface of Mars based on the planet's transcend data. You've likely seen this variety of responsive H2O layer earlier on sea flat maps of the Earth, such equally Climate Central's Surging Seas map.

Maps similar Surging Seas copy the probable consequences of global alert on Earth's sea levels. While the temperature on Mars tin plow over notice achieve equally high equally seventy degrees Fahrenheit (at the equator on a Martian summertime day) at that spot is soon piffling danger of the northward polar H2O ice cap melting (Mars would withdraw a far denser atmosphere too higher surface temperatures).

However the novel H2O layer on Kenneth's Mars map is an interesting agency to visualize transcend information on Mars. You tin plow over notice purpose the unlike H2O levels to visualize unlike elevations on the map below Mars' 'sea level'. And who knows, perchance inwards a few millennium, nosotros mightiness live on using a similar map inwards our efforts to terraform Mars.
