But Miocene-style hydrological or water cycles favor high altitude wind events, like cyclones and hurricanes, that transport heat and moisture evaporating from the tropics to higher latitudes, or California’s intense seasonal rainstorms.

"On the other hand, clearing the forest impacts both the water cycle and isoprene emissions, further propelling climate change."

“Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the climate, surface and interior,” said lead researcher Dr Vashan Wright, from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Because they are so stable, they can be transported throughout the water cycle, making their way into drinking water sources and precipitation.

These and other changes to the planet's atmospheric water cycle were once hard to imagine but are increasingly part of modern water management on the planet.
