THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MARTIAN ICE CAPS: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF ICE-DUST KINETICS
Spiral-shaped canyons on the polar ice caps of Mars are striking morphological features whose explanation is still mysterious. We pose a model for the kinetics at the ice-atmosphere interface based on the positive feedback properties of both dust and ice albedo within the north polar ice cap, togeth...
