Hydrological modeling of outflow channels and chaos regions on Mars
[1] The Martian outflow channels were carved by the eruption of catastrophic floods from groundwater aquifers. This study models the time evolution of a typical outflow channel flood originating within a chaos region. The flood initiates when superlithostatic pore pressures within a confined aquifer lead to the propagation of hydrofractures through the confining cryosphere to the surface. The p...
متن کاملInvestigations into the Cerberus Outflow Channels, Mars
Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images and Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft show evidence for three catastrophic outflow channels around the Cerberus Plains region, Mars. The morphologies seen in MOC images located within channels seen in gridded MOLA topography are similar to those found in catastrophic flood terrains on Earth, such as the Channel...
متن کاملTharsis recharge: A source of groundwater for Martian outflow channels
[1] The large martian outflow channels terminating in Chryse Planitia are remnants of flooding events involving the localized discharge of millions of cubic kilometers of subsurface water, more than can be regionally stored in the crust. We use a dynamic groundwater model to demonstrate that snowpack or glaciers on the Tharsis rise, formed during periods of high obliquity when ice was stable at...

متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigations on the Effect of Rectangular Openings’ Aspect Ratio on Outflow Discharge
Up to now, a few formulas have been suggested by scholars for the amount of discharge from openings, however, the effect of opening's geometry on the amount of discharge has not addressed thoroughly. In this study, to assess the effect of rectangular openings’ aspect ratio on the discharge amount, experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted on the discharge amount from rectang...
