[1] Several dozen distinct alluvial fans, 10 to 40 km long downslope, have been observed in highlands craters. Within a search region between 0 and 30 S, alluvial fan-containing craters were found only between 18 and 29 S, and they all occur at around ±1 km of the MOLA-defined Martian datum. Within the study area they are not randomly distributed but instead form three distinct clusters. Fans t...

We report four studies showing that the value placed on such material symbols (e.g., a building) depends on commitment to group identity, the extent to which a symbol can be used to represent in-group identity, and situational variabi...
