Dynamics of unusual debris flows on Martian sand dunes
(2004)Gullies that dissect sand dunes in Russell impact crater often display debris flow-like deposits in their distal reaches. The possible range of both the rheological properties and the flow rates are estimated using ... -
Dynamic river channel suggests a long-lived Noachian crater lake on Mars.
(2005)ecent images of the Noachian-age Holden Northeast Crater show spectacular meandering channels that form a complex 150 meter thick lacustrine river delta deposit confined to the northwest margin of the crater. We ... -
Mars global digital dune database and initial science results
(2007)A new Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD 3 ) constructed using Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) infrared (IR) images provides a comprehensive and quantitative view of the geographic distribution of moderate- ... -
Recent aeolian erosion and deposition in the north polar plateau of Mars.
(2007)Background: Planum Boreum, the north polar plateau of Mars, displays four extensive low-albedo regions covered with widespread se dimentary deposits that are thick enough to partly or completely suppress the signature ... -
Cyclical construction and destruction of flood dominated floodplains in semiarid central Australia
(1994)The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include ... -
