Arizona State University scientist finds Martian ice is patchy and variable
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results, by a researcher in Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration, will appear in Nature. The findings come from data sent back to Earth by THEMIS on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.
