Insulation provided by carbon dioxide ice above the martian polar caps could explain many of the Red Planet’s ancient river ...

By doing so, his model encapsulates the full carbon dioxide cycle from the regolith, to atmosphere, to frozen polar caps ... bound in the regolith in single-molecule-thick layers around each ...

At the end of the last global ice age, the deep-frozen Earth reached a built-in limit of climate change and thawed into a ...

New research suggests that about 3.6 billion years ago, Mars featured vast water flows and a lake rivaling the size of the ...

Heat emanating from Mars’s still active interior was insulated by the carbon dioxide ice, warming up the water ice causing about half of it to melt and flow across the Red Planet’s ancient surface.

Earth was a frozen wasteland. Then, rising CO2 caused a catastrophic thaw, turning Earth into a "slushy" planet.

The last global ice age took place about 635 million to 650 million years ago, when scientists believe global temperatures ...

At the end of the last global ice age, the deep-frozen Earth reached a built-in limit of climate change and thawed into a slushy planet. Results provide the first direct geochemical evidence of the ...

Results from a new study provide the first direct geochemical evidence of the "slushy" planet – otherwise known as the ...

The findings suggest vast rivers of glacial meltwater rushed into the sea, pooling over dense salty ocean water.

The last global ice age took place about 635 million to 650 million years ago, when scientists believe global temperatures dropped and the polar ... dioxide consuming process called chemical ...
