“…This evidence for a long-lived era of recurring ice ages in broad areas of the northern mid-latitudes of Mars is consistent with earlier measurements in specific locales (e.g., Head et al, 2005Head et al, , 2006aHead et al, , 2006bHauber et al, 2005Hauber et al, , 2008Levy et al, 2007Levy et al, , 2010. This work, however, represents the first integrated calculation of the period of time when deposition of ice and glaciation across the northern mid-latitudes occurred.…”
