  • Paleolakes on Martian surface have attracted great interests of researchers as they contain information on ancient aqueous environment of Mars and are important for the detection of habitable environment on Mars. With the implementing of Chinese Mars exploration program, it's of great significances to review the achievements in Martian paleolake study. We summarize the sedimentary geomorphology, mineral compositions, activity periods and global distribution of the paleolakes. On this basis, we discussed the unresolved questions in paleolake study and proposed that future studies should focus on the detailed investigation and geologic mapping of paleolakes, post-lacustrine modification processes, identification of other paleolake types and the comparative study of Martian and terrestrial paleolakes.
