Remnant Buried Ice in the Arsia Mons
Introduction. The western and northwestern flanks of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes were covered by tropical mountain glaciers 125–220 million years ago [1], as evidenced by the morphology, stratigraphic relationships, and spatial distribution of landforms in the fanshaped deposits (FSDs) on each volcano [2-8] and by climate and glacial flow models that predict snow accumulation and ice flow in t...
متن کاملProdigious ash deposits near the summit of Arsia Mons volcano, Mars
[1] Mars Orbiter Camera images are used to identify widespread material interpreted to have formed via explosive volcanism on Arsia Mons volcano, Mars. This material crops out in cliff sections associated with pit craters in layers 45– 50 m thick. The large range of elevations where the material is found (6.2–17.5 km) suggests locally-derived materials, although extensive reworking has produced...
متن کاملDebris-covered Glaciers within the Arsia Mons Fan-shaped Deposit: Implications for Glaciation, Deglaciation and the Origin of Lineated Valley Fill
Introduction: Recent MOC and THEMIS data have shed new light upon intriguing flow-like features on Mars including viscous flow-like features [1], lobate debris aprons [2], concentric crater fill, lineated valley fill, and features interpreted as rock glaciers or debris-covered glaciers [3,4,5,6]. These features are distributed over lowto mid-latitudes and all appear to have experienced flow due...
متن کاملRecent glaciation at high elevations on Arsia Mons, Mars: Implications for the formation and evolution of large tropical mountain glaciers
[1] The 166,000 km fan-shaped deposit at Arsia Mons contains three characteristic facies (ridged, knobby, and smooth), which are interpreted as the depositional remains of a cold-based glacier that was present on the west–northwestern flanks in the Late Amazonian period of Mars history. Here, we consider several high-elevation graben on the western flank of Arsia Mons that are interpreted as th...
متن کاملContents — Mi through Mu Characterizing Polar Layered Deposits at the Martian North Pole: An Assessment of Local Variations
A great diversity in the eruptive style of ArsiaMons volcano can be identified from THEMIS, MOCand MOLA data. Collectively, these data sets providethe first opportunity to study lava shields within thesummit caldera, kilometer-scale pit craters on theupper flanks, and the entire length of lava flows fromvent to distal flow lobes. As such, a more completepicture o...
