Olympus Mons Debris-covered Glaciers: Formation, Evolution and Volcano-ice Interactions

Geologically recent tectonic, volcanic and fluvial activity on the eastern flank of the Olympus Mons volcano, Mars

[1] We show evidence of very recent ( 25–40 Myr) geologic activity on the eastern flank of Olympus Mons volcano that includes a suite of fluvial (channel networks), volcanic (emplacement of lava flows and dikes), and tectonic (wrinkle ridges and troughs) processes. The combination and youth of these features confirms the importance of geological activity continuing to the present on Mars. Citat...

Prodigious ash deposits near the summit of Arsia Mons volcano, Mars

[1] Mars Orbiter Camera images are used to identify widespread material interpreted to have formed via explosive volcanism on Arsia Mons volcano, Mars. This material crops out in cliff sections associated with pit craters in layers 45– 50 m thick. The large range of elevations where the material is found (6.2–17.5 km) suggests locally-derived materials, although extensive reworking has produced...
