Drainage basin evolution in Noachian Terra Cimmeria, Mars
[1] Geomorphic mapping of a 1 million square kilometer section of Terra Cimmeria on Mars (1:1M scale) indicates that prolonged, intense fluvial erosion occurred during the period of heavy bombardment. Crater counts date the termination of ubiquitous, intense erosion to the late Noachian, although some valleys may have continued downcutting into the early Hesperian. Stratigraphic and topographic...

متن کاملLayered mantling deposits in northeast Arabia Terra, Mars: Noachian-Hesperian sedimentation, erosion, and terrain inversion
[1] Thick, layered mantling deposits of different ages occur in several nonpolar regions of Mars and are thought to represent volcanic ash and/or climate-related ice-dust deposition. One such deposit is a layered mantling unit that unconformably blanketed highlands terrain in northeast Arabia Terra during the Late Noachian and/or earliest Hesperian. Shortly thereafter, by the mid-Hesperian, thi...
متن کاملMapping Valley Networks in the Noachian Terrain around Naktong Vallis, Mars: Topographic Control on Drainage Density
Introduction: Most of the cratered uplands of Mars are dissected by networks of branching valleys, whose evolutionary history is still controversial [e.g. 1, 2]. The valleys show branching patterns closely analogous to terrestrial fluvial valleys, which may indicate that the valleys were cut primarily by surface runoff after precipitation [2]. However, short, stubby tributaries and amphitheater...
