Climate change and ice migration on Mars induced by the periodic variations in orbital elements
Mars harbors ice deposits in several forms. The most known and accessible are the polar caps, which are composed mostly of water ice.Geologic observations suggest these deposits waxed and waned in the past, along with deposition and loss of mid-latitude ice sheets and tropical glaciers following periodic variations in the orbital elements.We use a global climate model to study the evolution, interactions, and controls of the long-term Martian water ice deposits and their observable geologic features, such as polar cap layers and mid-latitude subsurface ice table depth.NOTE UNUSUAL DATE - SUNDAY, MAY 11TH

We use a global climate model to study the evolution, interactions, and controls of the long-term Martian water ice deposits and their observable geologic features, such as polar cap layers and mid-latitude subsurface ice table depth.
