The role of SO2 on Mars and on the primordial oxygen isotope composition of water on Earth and MarsWe stress the importance of SO2 on Mars. In the case that water should have been supplied in sufficient quantities to the Martian surface by a late veneer and stored in the near surface layers in form of ice, temporary greenhouse warming by SO2 after large SO2 discharges may have been responsible for melting of ice and break-out of water in areas not directly connected to volcanic activity. Aside from water, liquid SO2 could explain at least some of the erosion features on the Martian surface.
