| Abstract: | Presents evidence that water-ice-rich latitude dependent deposits occurring in both Martian hemispheres were formed during a geologically recent ice age, occurring about 2.1 to 0.4 Myr ago. Uses data from recent Mars missions (Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey). Argues ice-rich deposits were emplaced symmetrically, down to latitudes of 30°, in response to changing stability of water-ice and dust during variations in obliquity. Describes Mars as in 'interglacial' period, with deposits undergoing reworking, degradation and retreat in response to current instability of near-surface ice. Presents Martian ice age hypothesis, based on observations, global climate models and obliquity variations, which contrasts with that for Earth in the extreme orbital forcing, lack of oceans and presence of warmer polar temperatures during ice ages. |
