Warming early Mars with carbon dioxide clouds that scatter infrared radiation.
- F. Forget, R. Pierrehumbert
- PhysicsScience
- 14 November 1997
Model calculations show that the surface of early Mars could have been warmed through a scattering variant of the greenhouse effect, resulting from the ability of the carbon dioxide ice clouds to reflect the outgoing thermal radiation back to the surface.

Climate dynamics of a hard snowball Earth
- R. Pierrehumbert
- Environmental Science
- 16 January 2005
[1] The problem of deglaciating a globally ice-covered (“hard snowball”) Earth is examined using a series of general circulation model simulations. The aim is to determine the amount of CO2 that must…
