Modelling cockpit karst landforms
The purpose of this article is to present a model of the formation processes of cockpit karst landscapes. The CHILD software was used to simulate landscape evolution including dissolution processes of carbonate rocks. After examining briefly how the CHILD model operates, two applications of this model involving dissolution of carbonate rocks are presented. The simulated landscapes are compared ...
متن کاملMachine Learning Tools for Automatic Mapping of Martian Landforms
Express. These orbiters are surveying the entire Martian surface to understand the planet’s past and the geological, climatic, and other processes responsible for its present state. They gather ever-increasing amounts of spatially extended data. Science data archived from all planetary missions prior to the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission totals approximately 5 terabytes. NASA expects that number to ...
متن کامل-carotene as a Potential Biomarker in Martian Evaporitic Rocks: Evaluation of Raman Microspectrometric Analysis
Introduction: Based on the latest results of Martian exploration [1-3], evaporitic rocks on the Martian surface are proposed as potential habitats for microbial (halophilic) life on Mars [4,5]. At least, there is a reasonable possibility that these rocks may sustain molecular remnants (biomarkers) as evidence for the presence of extinct or extant living organisms. It has been shown that Raman s...
متن کاملGullies, polygons and mantles in Martian permafrost environments: cold desert landforms and sedimentary processes during recent Martian geological history
A range of cold desert landforms are found on the Martian surface that have been interpreted to indicate prevailing frozen and hyper-arid conditions for at least the past several million years. These cold desert conditions are punctuated by brief periods of localized surficial liquid water flow. Sediment transport pathways operate under these conditions of extreme cold and aridity and the proce...
متن کاملThe Dalhousie Mound Spring Complex as a guide to Martian Landforms, Processes, and Exploration
Possible springs and their deposits are important targets for Martian exploration because of the information they contain about Martian landscapes and processes, provide indications for conditions in the Martian hydrosphere, are potential habitats for past (and present) Martian organisms, and their resource potential for human missions. The Dalhousie Mound Spring Complex (DMC) is one of largest...
