Investigation of Thermokarst Features in Ne Siberia as Possible Terrestrial Analogues of Martian Scalloped Depressions. M

چکیده
Introduction and background: High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) images with resolutions of ~25-32 cm/pixel [1] enable to analyze putative periglacial landforms on Mars (e.g., polygons, scalloped depressions) in very high spatial resolution. However, the investigation of terrestrial analogues is necessary to improve the understanding of possible ground ice degradation processes on Mars.

متن کاملSpatial analyses of thermokarst lakes and basins in Yedoma landscapes of the Lena Delta
Distinctive periglacial landscapes have formed in late-Pleistocene ice-rich permafrost deposits (Ice Complex) of northern Yakutia, Siberia. Thermokarst lakes and thermokarst basins alternate with ice-rich Yedoma uplands. We investigate different thermokarst stages in Ice Complex deposits of the Lena River Delta using remote sensing and geoinformation techniques. The morphometry and spatial dist...
متن کاملThermokarst on Mars? Insights from a Survey of Rimless Depressions
Introduction: Circular and elliptical depressions, distinct from impact craters by their steep walls, lack of visible rims or ejecta, and flat floors, have been known to exist on Mars for over thirty years. Since their initial discovery in Chryse Planitia by [1], these features have been identified in Viking imagery at several locations, including Lunae Planum, Utopia Plani-tia, and Ares Valles...

Analyses both support and are in opposition to the hypothesis that the Martian meteorite ALH84001 contains evidence for possible biogenic activity on Mars. New observations in two additional Martian meteorites, Nakhla (1.3 Ga old) and Shergotty (300–165 Ma old) indicate possible biogenic features. Features in the three Martian meteorites compare favorably with the accepted criteria for terrestr...
متن کاملAre terrestrial ferropicrites analogues of Martian rocks?
Introduction: The SNC meteorites and the Pathfinder and MER Rover data represent our only information on individual rocks on the Martian surface, and therefore our only glimpse into Martian igneous processes. Because of this limitation, terrestrial analogues would provide a wealth of additional information. Analogies to terrestrial rocks have been made for the meteorites and Pathfinder rock but...
