Variable mixtures of CO 2 ice, H 2 O ice, and dust in volatile exposures at the south pole of Mars influence interactions with the atmosphere that drive their formation, evolution, and eventual preservation as long-term climate records. However, ice composition in the south pola…

Two recent in situ Mars missions, the Phoenix Mars Lander and the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, have explored two quite different locations on the surface of Mars. The Phoenix lander investigated the polygonal terrain and associated soil and icy soil deposits of a high nor…
In this work the method of isotopic substitution in neutron diffraction is used to measure the partial structure factors of several binary systems. Molten sodium chloride at 820(5) °C is investigated and an improvement is made on the previously available data. The applicability …
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2 ) has been investigated as an antimicrobial in meat washing systems and brine chillers. This study was designed to observe the antimicrobials effectiveness of ClO2 applied in an ice form. An ice machine with a ClO2 generator produced ice containing 0 or 20…
Ice and dust play a key role in building the Solar System. During their life cycle, these primitive components are exposed to complex physical and chemical processes. Some of the earliest remnants from the formation of the early Solar nebula still remain in comets providing a wa…
Freezing rain is a winter weather phenomenon that is both particularly dangerous and difficult to predict. This forecast challenge arises because freezing rain requires the maintenance of a narrow range of temperature profiles, with warm air aloft and cold air at the surface. Th…
