Notes. We note that the thermal conductivity of the sheet silicate biotite varies between 3.14− 5.10 W m−1 K−1 (in-plane) and 0.52− 0.84 W m−1 K−1 (perpendicular to the sheets) (Sturm & Rubahn 2008), and values of ≈ 1.2 W m−1 K−1 have also been reported (Fredlund et al. 2012). As a compromise, we use 3.1 W m−1 K−1. Furthermore, the value of varies with the dust/ice ratio: for dust/ice = 3∕1 and for dust/ice = 1∕1.
