Aeolian sediment transport pathways and aerodynamics at troughs on Mars
(2004)Interaction between wind regimes and topography can give rise to complex suites of aeolian landforms. This paper considers aeolian sediment associated with troughs on Mars and identifies a wider range of deposit types ... -
The dune effect on sand-transporting winds on Mars
(2015)Wind on Mars is a significant agent of contemporary surface change, yet the absence of in situ meteorological data hampers the understanding of surface-atmospheric interactions. Airflow models at length scales relevant to ... -
Dynamic river channel suggests a long-lived Noachian crater lake on Mars.
(2005)ecent images of the Noachian-age Holden Northeast Crater show spectacular meandering channels that form a complex 150 meter thick lacustrine river delta deposit confined to the northwest margin of the crater. We ... -
An Empirical Approach to Studying Debris Flows - Implications for Planetary Modeling Studies.
(2002)High-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Survey Mars Orbiter Camera show gullies on the walls of impact craters and valley systems on Mars. Depositional aprons associated with these gullies have been interpreted ... -
Recent aeolian erosion and deposition in the north polar plateau of Mars.
(2007)Background: Planum Boreum, the north polar plateau of Mars, displays four extensive low-albedo regions covered with widespread se dimentary deposits that are thick enough to partly or completely suppress the signature ...
