Sublimation-Dominated Active Layers in the Highlands of the Antarctic Dry Valleys and Implications for Other Sites
Abstract
The high-elevation Antarctic Dry Valleys represent an extremely cold and dry environment where subsurface liquid water is not present. Field observations and data are used to characterize and model this system, as well as alpine regions on Earth and Mars.
