In spring, the ice partially sublimates ... jets created by trapped vapor bursting through the top melting layer, carrying dark dust from the ground below. When this darker material settles ...

However, a sufficiently thick layer of ice can absorb this radiation ... such a radiative habitable zone could exist in ice with the dust content level and structure of the ice observed on Mars.

That ancient snow — now ice — still contains flecks of dust. Through computer simulations ... to occur in pockets of meltwater below an icy layer. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter flies ...

The missing ozone layer and magnetic field means ultraviolet ... based on the dust content and structure of the ice. If dust makes up more than about 1% of the ice, it would be too shaded for ...
