Volcanic sulfur gases may have warmed early Mars and supported potential life

While the ancient Martian climate is still debated, new research indicates that volcanic emissions of sulfur gases could have created a warmer atmosphere capable of sustaining life. The study, published in Science Advances, was led by scientists at The University of Texas at Austin.

Analyzing Martian meteorite data, the team ran over 40 simulations testing how carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur
