متن کاملGeomorphic Evidence for Martian Ground Ice and Climate Change
Introduction: Recent results from gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers on Mars Odyssey indicate the presence of a hydrogen-rich layer tens of centimeters thick in the uppermost meter in high latitudes (>60 ̊) on Mars [1]. This hydrogen-rich layer correlates to regions of ice stability [2]. Thus, the subsurface hydrogen is thought to be water ice constituting 35+/15% by weight near the north and s...
متن کاملTsunami waves extensively resurfaced the shorelines of an early Martian ocean
It has been proposed that ~3.4 billion years ago an ocean fed by enormous catastrophic floods covered most of the Martian northern lowlands. However, a persistent problem with this hypothesis is the lack of definitive paleoshoreline features. Here, based on geomorphic and thermal image mapping in the circum-Chryse and northwestern Arabia Terra regions of the northern plains, in combination with...
متن کاملTowards a Quantitative Analysis of Martian Terrains
This document investigates the use of sample based Bayesian segmentation algorithms on images of the Martian landscape, with regard to a quantitative understanding of statistical and systematic errors. The errors predicted from stochastic sampling are estimated using the conventional methods of error propagation and the Cramer-Rao bound and compared to the estimation errors for computed total q...
