Analysis of permafrost depths on MarsThe Martian surface thermal characteristics as they effect the thickness and distribution of the permafrost are discussed. Parameters such as temperature mean, maximum, and minimum, heat flow values, and damping depths are derived and applied to a model of the Martian cryosphere. A comparison is made between the permafrost layers of Earth and Mars.
