We present two photoclinometric profiles across a trough in the martian northern polar layered terrain. Complications caused by albedo variations were avoided by using an early springtime Viking image with a thin cover of seasonal CO 2 frost. The topographic profiles were constrained with stereogram

Interpretation of the polar stratigraphy of Mars in terms of global climate changes is complicated by the significant difference in surface ages between the north and south polar layered terrains inferred from crater statistics. We have reassessed the cratering record in both polar regions using Vik
Understanding the density evolution of any ice deposits on the martian north polar residual cap is key to understanding whether the cap contains a climate record in the form of occluded samples of past atmospheres. We present a physical model for densification of water ice deposits on the cap due to
The gastric mucosa is remarkable for its ability to secrete strong hydrochloric acid in relatively large amounts. The problem of considering the process is in some respects more difficult than that which is involved in the concentration or dilution of a secretion, for passage of water by osmotic for
The effect of the collision efficiency of particles deposited onto a rough substrate and the evolution of the deposit profile were investigated using 2D on-lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The case of a diffusive long-range transport regime as representative of the colloidal deposition from the susp
