Equatorial Mars Ice from Volcanoes: Hidden Water Ice
New clues from a planetary climate model A recent modeling study published in Nature Communications proposes an intriguing mechanism for how hydrated ice could accumulate in Mars’ equatorial regions—far from the planet’s well-known polar ice caps. By simulating ancient, explosive volcanic eruptions on early Mars, researchers show that water vapor emitted during eruptions could condense…
