New Study Proposes Dust Pumping To Raise Mars Temperature

Scientists discover way to restore water to Mars using dust

However, researchers at the University of Chicago in Illinois have introduced a new concept that could increase Mars's temperature by 30 degrees more efficiently and economically.
