Geological Relationships between Hydrated Minerals and Fluvial Landforms in Tyrrhena Terra

Introduction: Tyrrhena Terra is located in cratered and dissected Noachian terrains in the southern hemisphere [1] south of Isidia Planitia and north of Hellas basin. Tyrrhena Terra contains both highlands and a series of intercrater plains. In this region, many outcrops of phyllosilicates are observed by OMEGA spectrometer on many craters walls or ejecta [2, 3]. Several plains in Tyrrhena Terr...

Gullies, 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...

Surface-Based 3D Modeling of Geological Structures

Building a 3D geological model from field and subsurface data is a typical task in geological studies involving natural resource evaluation and hazard assessment. However, there is quite often a gap between research papers presenting case studies or specific innovations in 3D modeling and the objectives of a typical class in 3D structural modeling, as more and more is implemented at universitie...
