A cold hydrological system in Gale crater, Mars
Gale crater is a 154-km-diameter impact crater formed during the Late Noachian/Early Hesperian at the dichotomy boundary on Mars. Here we describe potential evidence for ancient glacial, periglacial and fluvial (including glacio-fluvial) activity within Gale crater, and the former presence of ground ice and lakes. Our interpretations are derived from morphological observations using high-resolu...
متن کاملHow wet are gullies on Mars? Insights from high resolution topography
We have found that debris flows are the main process in forming two gullied crater slopes on Mars. We used 1 m/pix elevation models to derive three topographic indices: slope-area, CAD and DI-25. These indices allow the active slope processes to be identified by comparison to data from Earth analogues. We present data from Meteor Crater together with analogues previsouly presented by Conway et ...
متن کاملGeologic mapping and characterization of Gale Crater and implications for its potential as a Mars Science Laboratory landing site
Background: Gale Crater is located at 5.3°S, 222.3°W (137.7°E) and has a diameter of ~155 km. It has b een a ta rget o f p articular i nterest d ue to the > 5 k m t all m ound o f layered material that occupies the center of the c rater.

متن کاملMRO’s HiRISE COVERAGE OF FLUVIAL LANDFORMS ON MARS DURING ITS PRIMARY
Introduction: The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment completed its primary science phase (lasting one Mars year) in November 2008. By the end of the primary science phase, the HiRISE camera completed 9549 observations for a total of approximately 8 Terabytes of data. These observations cover an area close to 938,000 km 2 or approximately 0.6% of the surface...
متن کاملInterior channels in Martian valleys: Constraints on fluvial erosion by measurements of the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera
[1] In High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) images of the Mars Express Mission a 130 km long interior channel is identified within a 400 km long valley network system located in the Lybia Montes. Ages of the valley floor and the surroundings as derived from crater counts define a period of 350Myrs during which the valley might have been formed. Based on HRSC stereo measurements the discharge of...
