New models explore Earth's ice sheet history and Martian clouds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

New scientific models are exploring unusual atmospheric phenomena on both Earth and Mars. On Earth, research suggests the Laurentide Ice Sheet's expansion may have begun 2,000 years ago, though this process was later curtailed. Separately, a model indicates that a large cloud formation on Mars could be indicative of ice-forming physics previously unobserved in nature. AI

IMPACT AI models are being used to explore complex scientific phenomena on Earth and Mars, potentially leading to new discoveries in atmospheric physics and climate science.
