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 perennial north polar H 2 O ice cap of Mars is investigated with the dynamic/thermodynamic ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS. Computational results for flow velocities, ice temperatures, and surface accumulation/ablation rates are presented for the steady state with present conditions as well as for tra
We have examined Viking Orbiter albedo, thermal, and atmospheric water vapor data acquired during Mars' northern summer season and compared these results with the imaging results of D. S. Bass, K. E. Herkenhoff, and D. A. Paige (2000, Icarus 144, 382-396). The Viking thermal mapper data show an incr
