Tropical mountain glaciers on Mars: Altitude-dependence of ice accumulation, accumulation conditions, formation times, glacier dynamics, and implications for planetary spin-axis/orbital history (2007, methodology): “The Pavonis Mons ice sheet engulfs the peak of the volcano, but matches the northern margin well (Shean et al., 2005).”
Extensive valley glacier deposits in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars: Evidence for Late Amazonian obliquity-driven climate change (2006, background): “Tropical mountain glacier deposits have been documented in the equatorial regions of Mars [32,33] and glacial flow simulations [34] suggest significant atmospheric precipitation and accumulation.”
Recent formation and evolution of northern Martian polar layered deposits as inferred from a Global Climate Model (2007, result): “, 2005], but similar analyses on the western flanks of Pavonis and Arsia Montes suggests that the age of the glaciation could lie within the Late Amazonian (50–200 Ma) [Shean et al., 2005; Shean et al., 2006] Hencewe stress that this correlation requires more investigation.”
Geologic history of Mars (2010, background): “…formations with finely striated margins, strongly suggest that former glaciers modified the volcanic surfaces and left extensive moraines on the adjacent plains (Lucchitta, 1981; Head and Marchant, 2003; Shean et al., 2005; Milkovich et al., 2006; Shean et al., 2007; Kadish et al., 2008).”
The Polar Deposits of Mars (2009, background): “Geomorphic studies of the flanks of the high-elevation Tharsis Montes and Olympus Mons at equatorial latitudes suggest that kilometer-thick glaciers may have formed there over the past 100 Myr (Head & Marchant 2003; Milkovich et al. 2006; Shean et al. 2005, 2007) and have since disappeared.”
A cold and wet Mars (2010, background): “In this cold climate, multiple glacial landscapes formed and phases of tropical mountain glaciation occurred even within the past few tens of million years (Kargel and Strom, 1992; Neukum et al., 2004; Shean et al., 2005; Head et al., 2005; Milkovich et al., 2006; Forget et al., 2006).”
