Planetary scientist Vlada Stamenković of the [[NASA]] [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] and colleagues have developed a new chemical model of how oxygen dissolves in [[Mars|Martian]] conditions,. whichThey raisesfound that in the possibilitycold conditions on Mars the trace amounts of oxygen in its thin atmosphere gets concentrated into oxygen-rich brines;. The coldest brines have enough oxygen, the work suggests, to support simple animals such as sponges. The model was published in ''{{w|Nature (journal)|Nature}}'' on October 22 2018.
