New computer modeling suggests meltwater beneath Martian ice could support microbial life. A team led by Aditya Khuller (NASA JPL) and including Gary Clow (INSTAAR) found that the amount of sunlight that can shine through water ice would be enough for photosynthesis to occur in shallow pools of meltwater below the surface of that ice.
A new model makes better predictions of the behavior of ice on Mars鈥攁nd any other rocky planet with an atmosphere.
