Dune-Yardang Interactions in Becquerel Crater, Mars

Dune-Yardang Interactions in Becquerel Crater, Mars.

Isolated landscapes largely shaped by aeolian processes can occur on Earth, while the majority of Mars' recent history has been dominated by wind-driven activity. Resultantly, Martian landscapes often exhibit large-scale aeolian features, including yardang landforms carved from sedimentary-layered deposits. High-resolution orbital monitoring has revealed that persistent bedform activity is occu...

Degradation of Victoria crater, Mars

[1] The 750 m diameter and 75 m deep Victoria crater in Meridiani Planum, Mars, is a degraded primary impact structure retaining a 5 m raised rim consisting of 1–2 m of uplifted rocks overlain by 3 m of ejecta at the rim crest. The rim is 120–220 m wide and is surrounded by a dark annulus reaching an average of 590 m beyond the raised rim. Comparison between observed morphology and that expecte...
