A research paper on the environmental differences between Earth and Mars -- specifically, the environmental, astrological, and physical differences that lead to the difference in dust storms between Earth and Mars. Earth features more local and subsidized dust storms, while Mars features larger, impactful dust storms that cover most of the Southern Hemisphere of Mars and are global.
