Geologic history of Mars (2010, result): “Glacial flow models employing the location and amount of precipitation predicted by the general circulation models produce deposits similar to those observed (Fastook et al., 2008).”
Global modelling of the early Martian climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Water cycle and ice evolution (2012, background): “Geological evidence suggests that throughout much of the Amazonian, the mean annual surface temperatures of Mars have been so cold that basal melting does not occur in ice sheets or glaciers [e.g., Fastook et al., 2008, Head et al., 2010, Fastook et al., 2011].”
