Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal Flows on Warm Martian Slopes
Alfred S. McEwen,Lujendra Ojha,Colin M. Dundas,Sarah Mattson,Shane Byrne,James J. Wray,S. Cull,Scott L. Murchie,Nicolas Thomas,Virginia C. Gulick +9 more
TL;DR: Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are narrow, relatively dark markings on steep slopes; repeat images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment show them to appear and incrementally grow during warm seasons and fade in cold seasons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Mid-Latitude Ground Ice on Mars from New Impact Craters
Shane Byrne,Colin M. Dundas,M. R. Kennedy,Michael T. Mellon,Alfred S. McEwen,S. Cull,Ingrid Daubar,David Shean,Kimberly D. Seelos,Scott L. Murchie,Bruce A. Cantor,Raymond E. Arvidson,Kenneth S. Edgett,A. Reufer,Nicolas Thomas,Tanya N. Harrison,L. Posiolova,Frank P. Seelos +17 more
TL;DR: Observations of ground ice exposed by recent impact craters probe the composition of the upper layers of the surface of Mars, and derive ice-table depths that are consistent with models using higher long-term average atmospheric water vapor content than present values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurring slope lineae in equatorial regions of Mars
Alfred S. McEwen,Colin M. Dundas,Sarah Mattson,Anthony D. Toigo,Lujendra Ojha,James J. Wray,Matthew Chojnacki,Shane Byrne,Scott L. Murchie,Nicolas Thomas +9 more
TL;DR: The recurring slope lineae are narrow, dark markings on steep slopes that appear and incrementally lengthen during warm seasons on low-albedo surfaces as discussed by the authors, and fade in cooler seasons and recur over multiple Mars years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive CO2 Ice Deposits Sequestered in the South Polar Layered Deposits of Mars
Roger J. Phillips,Brian J. Davis,Kenneth L. Tanaka,Shane Byrne,Michael T. Mellon,Nathaniel E. Putzig,Robert M. Haberle,Melinda A. Kahre,Bruce A. Campbell,Lynn M. Carter,Isaac B. Smith,John W. Holt,Suzanne E. Smrekar,Daniel Nunes,Jeffrey J. Plaut,Anthony F. Egan,Timothy N. Titus,Roberto Seu +17 more
TL;DR: Shallow Radar soundings from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal a buried deposit of carbon dioxide (CO2) ice within the south polar layered deposits of Mars with a volume of 9500 to 12,500 cubic kilometers, about 30 times that previously estimated for the south pole residual cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Sublimation Model for Martian South Polar Ice Features
Shane Byrne,Andrew P. Ingersoll +1 more
TL;DR: This work argues that a carbon dioxide ice layer about 8 meters thick is being etched away to reveal water ice underneath on Mars, consistent with thermal infrared data from the Mars Odyssey mission.
