About the Consortium
This consortium and website were put together to facilitate exchange of information that pertains to Martian ice studies. Currently the consortium is made up of members from the USGS Astrogeology Team and Arizona State University. Group members are listed below.
Timothy Titus: ttitus@usgs.gov
Dr. Titus is a Space Scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, AZ. His research interests include Mars polar processes, thermal inertia studies, and Mars dunes. Click here for more information on Tim's research interests.

SP Recession
TES Observations of the South Pole T.N. Titus (Oak Ridge Associated Universities), H.H. Kieffer, K.F. Mullins (U.S. Geological Survey) he recession of the south polar cap has been observed telescopically and from spacecraft in both the visible and thermal regions. Although a simple cap-edge versus time plot has commonly been used, without regard as to the longitude of measurement, Mariner 9...SP Cryptic Region
Kieffer, H.H., Titus, T.N., Mullins, K.F., Becker, K., Johnson, J., Christensen, P. The early part of the Mars Global Surveyor mission provided good TES coverage of the Mars south polar region.South Pole
Jets on Mars Nature, August 2006. CO 2 Jets on Mars: Scientists have now found a better explanation for the dark spots and fans found on the south polar region of Mars. These spots, which can cover tens of square kilometers, are visible in the cryptic region. Originally, it was suggested that the spots were soil, exposed after early defrosting of the polar ice. However, an intensive new study with...All About Ice
Why Study Ice on Mars? On Earth, there’s a plethora of variables driving environmental change, from natural processes to the activities of humans. While Mars is most similar to Earth of all the known extraterrestrial worlds, its climate is still extremely different from our watery abode. The recent discovery of ice on the red planet’s surface has given us a new climate driver to study...Mars Ice
The Mars-Ice project is a joint project between the USGS Astrogeology Research Program (Flagstaff, AZ) and the Arizona State University Mars Space Flight Facilty (Tempe, AZ) to bring together a single resource for the exploration of martian ices. Much of this research is done at the USGS Flagstaff Science Center.Mars Ice Consortium
