Schematic of the case considered in the new study causing a local elevated heat flux beneath Marss south polar ice cap.
The schematic shows a magma chamber of diameter D buried at a depth of H (to the center of the chamber) beneath the
putative liquid water, creating an elevated heat flux Q as it cools. Credit: AGU/GRL/Sori and Bramson.
Hope one isn’t under Sheila’s flag.
Very interesting. I recall, many years ago, an astronomy prof who said that Mars’ core was kaput.
Interesting.
