Groundwater-controlled valley networks and the decline of surface runoff on early Mars
[1] Fluvial erosion on early Mars was dominated by valley networks created through a combination of groundwater processes and surface runoff. A reduced greenhouse effect due to CO2 loss, together with a declining geothermal heat flux, promoted the growth of a cryosphere and a Hesperian hydrologic regime dominated by outflow channel formation. We test the hypothesis that the transition from vall...
متن کاملEvidence for recent groundwater seepage and surface runoff on Mars.
Relatively young landforms on Mars, seen in high-resolution images acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera since March 1999, suggest the presence of sources of liquid water at shallow depths beneath the martian surface. Found at middle and high martian latitudes (particularly in the southern hemisphere), gullies within the walls of a very small number of impact craters, south p...
متن کاملAutomatic mapping of valley networks on Mars
Martian valley networks bear some resemblance to terrestrial drainage systems, but their precise origin remains an active research topic. A limited number of valley networks have been manually mapped from images, but the vast majority remains unmapped because standard drainage mapping algorithms are inapplicable to valleys that are poorly organized and lack spatial integration. In this paper we...

trays animal researchers as being “furious” with a decision by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to add mice, rats, and birds to the list of animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). As seen in the accompanying table, however, a recent survey of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members reveals that most researchers actually favor AWA regulation of these species. ...
متن کاملenvironmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area
gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...
