A physical mechanism for long-term survival of ground ice
and diffusion physics provide conflicting evidence for the age of the ground ice found in BeaconValley, Antarctica. The rate of vapor diffusion into a dry atmosphere is incompatible with aminimum radiometric age of 8Ma. Recent measurements of meteorological conditions in Beacon Valley show that the...
