متن کاملOlympus Mons Fan Shaped Deposit Morphology: Evidence for Debris Glaciers
Introduction: Olympus Mons is the largest volcano on Mars, rising over 25 km above the surrounding plains and with a basal diameter greater than 600 km. It is surrounded by a basal escarpment up to 6 km tall. Extending up to 1000 km beyond this scarp are lobes of ridged materials known as the aureole [1, 2]. Superimposed upon the west and northwest aureole deposits at the base of the escarpment...
متن کاملDebris-covered piedmont glaciers along the northwest flank of the Olympus Mons scarp: Evidence for low-latitude ice accumulation during the Late Amazonian of Mars
We use Viking and new MGS and Odyssey data to characterize the lobate deposits superimposed on aureole deposits along the west and northwest flanks of Olympus Mons, Mars. These features have previously been interpreted variously as landslide, pyroclastic, lava flow or glacial features on the basis of Viking images. The advent of multiple high-resolution image and topography data sets from recen...

متن کاملStructural instability of large-scale functional networks
We study how large functional networks can grow stably under possible cascading overload failures and evaluated the maximum stable network size above which even a small-scale failure would cause a fatal breakdown of the network. Employing a model of cascading failures induced by temporally fluctuating loads, the maximum stable size nmax has been calculated as a function of the load reduction pa...
