SwRI scientists discover evidence of ice age at Martian north pole
San Antonio TX (SPX) May 30, 2016
Using radar data collected by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a Southwest Research Institute-led team found evidence of an ice age recorded in the polar deposits of Mars. Ice ages on Mars are driven by processes similar to those responsible for ice ages on Earth, that is, long-term cyclical changes in the planet's orbit and tilt, which affect the amount of solar radiation it receives at each latitude. "We found an accelerated accumulation rate of ice in the uppermost 100 to 300 meters of the p ... read more
