Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO$_2$ Weathering
, 2019 Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entirely ice-covered, are believed to be inhospitable.

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2009 Entre os fatores climáticos que interferem na erosão hídrica, a precipitação pluvial, expressa pela erosividade da chuva, é o de maior importância. Portanto, seu conhecimento torna-se fundamental na recomendação de práticas de manejo e conservação do solo que visem à redução da erosão hídrica.
