I'm unfamiliar with early Mars models which propose a surface pressure larger than 5.11 atm at temperatures above -56.4 deg C Plus, the "also" part doesn't mix very well with respective phase diagrams: http://onsager.bd.psu.edu/~jircitano/phase.html Maybe elsewhere, but not on Mars. No sustained presence of liquid CO2 on planetary surface, sorry. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net == You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/
