Pacing early Mars river activity: Embedded craters in the Aeolis Dorsa region imply river activity spanned â‰3(1–20)Myr
We find net sedimentation rate[(13–200) lm/yr in the Aeolis Dorsa region, Mars, using the frequency of crater–river interactions. This sets a lower bound of 1–20 Myr on the total interval spanned by fluvial activity, which we correlate to the Noachian–Hesperian transition. The main uncertainty is the impact flux at the time of deposition. This result rules out basin-filling by a single catastro...

متن کاملVariability in martian sinuous ridge form: Case study of Aeolis Serpens in the Aeolis Dorsa, Mars, and insight from the Mirackina paleoriver, South Australia
In the largest known population of sinuous ridges on Mars, Aeolis Serpens stands out as the longest ( 500 km) feature in Aeolis Dorsa. The formation of this landform, whether from fluvial or glacio-fluvial processes, has been debated in the literature. Here we examine higher-resolution data and use a terrestrial analog (the Mirackina paleoriver, South Australia) to show that both the morphology...
متن کاملAssessment of water quality of the Parvaz River using the EPT and Hilsenhoff bioindicators, in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari Province
The present study was conducted to identify pond effluent effects on macroinvertebrate communities of the Parvaz River, located in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Additionally, in order to assess the river's water quality, EPT and HFBI indices were employed. Macroinvertebrates sampling was performed monthly from April 2014 to the end of March 2015. Macroinvertebrates were sampled using ...
متن کاملArc changes in arid area rivers (Case study: Qomrood river in Iran)
Qomrood river is one of the rivers that located in arid and semiarid area which has a seasonal fluvial. The river is faced many changes, because of floods or natural- human factors. This study, as a geomorphologic study, tries to survey and identify geometric changes between Kocherey dam and 15-Khordad dam. The study method is a mix of library research and field studies. In library method all p...
