本卷的主题是在编辑和许多同事,特别是伊恩·斯基林、马格努斯·古德蒙松、弗吉尼亚·古利克和斯维恩·雅各布森的讨论中构思出来的,这是为了回应地质学家对陆地和假定火星实例的火山冰系统的兴趣迅速增长。这两个地质学家群体在追求科学的道路上基本上是平行的,但使用非常不同的工具:主要是火星遥感(卫星数据);主要是地球研究的露头地质学。目前,还没有出版物跨越地球和火星调查之间人为存在的鸿沟,因此,本卷的概念产生了。孤立的论文已经解决了火山冰的主题,但这是第一次尝试组装一个主题组的贡献,解决已知或认为发生在两个行星上的各种相互作用。这卷的广泛焦点是岩浆和冰冻圈之间的相互作用,无论是在地球还是火星上。在地球上,冰雪存在于广阔的极地冰帽中,甚至在热带纬度的山峰上,而冰盖在地质学上的过去更为广泛。通过卫星和仪器着陆器对火星进行的探索也揭示了大量水和冰的例子:在今天的极地冰盖和以前的火星表面其他地方,在地壳和陨石中,火星甚至可能在其历史早期维持了冰冻的海洋。然而,火星经历了非常不同的喷发环境,
The theme of this volume was conceived during discussions between the editors and many colleagues, particularly Ian Skilling, Magnus Gudmundsson, Virginia Gulick and Sveinn Jacobsson, in response to a burgeoning growth of interest in volcano-ice systems by geologists working on terrestrial and putative martian examples. Both communities of geologists have been travelling essentially parallel paths in pursuit of their science, but using very different tools: principally remote sensing (satellite data) for Mars; mainly outcrop geology for Earth studies. At present, there are no publications that span the divide that artificially exists between the terrestrial and martian investigations, and, thus, the concept for this volume was borne. Isolated papers have addressed volcano-ice topics but this is the first attempt to assemble a thematic group of contributions addressing the diverse range of interactions known or thought to occur on both planets. The broad focus of this volume is the interaction between magmas and cryospheres, whether on Earth or Mars. On Earth, snow and ice are found in extensive polar ice caps and on the summits of mountains even down to tropical latitudes, and ice sheets were much more widespread in the geological past. The exploration of Mars, by satellite and instrumental lander, has also revealed abundant examples of water and ice: in polar ice caps today and formerly elsewhere on the surface, in the crust and in the megaregolith, and the planet may even have sustained frozen oceans early in its history. Very different eruptive environments are implied, however, with Mars experiencing
