متن کاملIce-enriched Loess and the Formation of Periglacial Terrain in Mid-utopia
Introduction: In recent work [1-3] we used all relevant HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment), MOC (Mars Orbiter Camera), THEMIS (Thermal Emission Imaging System) and CTX (Context Camera) images in mid Utopia Planitia (UP; ~3060 0 N; Fig. 1) to map flat-floored and scalloped depressions, small-sized (~150m) polygonal patternedground and polygon-junction/trough pits (Fig. 2a). On ...
متن کامل“blebby” Terrain and Domes on the Northern Plains of Mars: Evidence of Ancient Ice Ages?
Introduction: In recent years, a number of researchers have recognized signs of past glacial activity on Mars and features that could be extant rock glaciers [1,2]. There has also been the recognition of " pasted on " terrains which are interpreted as dust-covered snow or ice deposits [3]. Many of these features are attributed to relatively recent (within the last several million years) periods...
متن کاملConcentric crater fill in Utopia Planitia: History and interaction between glacial “brain terrain” and periglacial mantle processes
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t At martian mid-to-high latitudes, the surfaces of potentially ice-rich features, including concentric crater fill, lobate debris aprons, and lineated valley fill, typically display a complex texture known as " brain terrain, " due to its resemblance to the complex patterns on brain surfaces. In order to determine the structure and developmental history of c...

Introduction: One of the most prominent features of Mars is the global south to north slope of ~0.036° [1] discovered by analysis of data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) aboard Mars Global Surveyor. In contrast, Isidis Planitia, the floor of Isidis basin, slopes southwest at an angle of ~0.02° [2]. It has been suggested [3] that deflection of the lithosphere under a load located in...
