Interannual Comparison of Water Vapor in the North Polar Region of Mars
The development of the south polar Chasma Australe re-entrant has been discussed for several years and a variety of theories including eolian, aquatic, subglacial and tectonic mechanisms have been proposed for its formation. Morphological observations and studies of recent imagery support the idea of successive headward erosion and removal of volatile–rich sub–surface material combined with col...
متن کاملChasma Boreale, Mars: Topographic characterization from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data and implications for mechanisms of formation
[1] Chasma Boreale, a large reentrant in the north polar cap of Mars, is distinct in scale, detailed topography, and orientation from the spiraling troughs that characterize the majority of the polar cap. We use new, high-resolution Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data and Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and Viking images of the chasma region to assess hypotheses of origin of Chasma Boreale. Thes...

We use new, high-resolution MOLA data and MOC and Viking images of the chasma region to assess hypotheses of origin of Chasma Boreale. These hypotheses include formation by glacial flow and ablati...
متن کاملEvidence of Late-stage Fluvial Outflow in Echus
Introduction: New high-resolution datasets have prompted a mapping-based study of the Echus Chasma and Kasei Valles system. Some of the highlights of our new findings from the Amazonian (<1.8 Ga) period in this area include (1) a new widespread platy-flow surface material (unit Apf) that is interpreted to be 2,100-km-runout flood lavas sourced from Echus Chasma; and (2) a fracture in Echus Chas...
متن کاملMorphologic Observations of Chasma Boreale, Mars Using Moc, Themis, and Mola: Origins Revisted
Introduction: Chasma Boreale, a large reentrant in the martian North Pole, is distinct from other polar troughs by its large size and counterclockwise orientation [5]. The ~ 1300 m deep chasma extends for ~ 500 km from its proposed origin at 85° N, 2o E and is on average ~ 60 km wide. The head of the feature is marked by two major steep, arcuate scarps. Extending from the mouth of Chasma Boreal...
