The Role of Methane on an Icy Early Mars and in Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Abstract
The early martian climate is presently thought to have either been icy and cold or warm and semi-arid. We show that transiently warming an icy climate is challenged by the high albedo of surface ice. Exoplanet implications are also discussed.
