These water bodies range from large oceans in the Noachian-Early Hesperian, to a minor sea in the Late Hesperian, and reduced lakes during the Amazonian. Assuming that the search for life is directly linked to the search for water, the possible biological history of Mars must have been largely influenced by the endogenetically-driven hydrogeological cycles. In consequence, terrestrial bi- ological and environmental analogues can now be placed in context with the model proposed, so contributing to draw a general approach for the history of life on Mars.

The HEC- RAS model used for both Earth and Mars are identical except that the Mars version was adjusted for the gra- vitational acceleration and the specific weight of water differences between the two planets. Using the HEC- Ares Valles GeoRAS ArcGIS geospatial tool to generate the chan- nel geometry for input to the HEC-RAS flow model, Aram Chaos the hypothesized output potentially quantifies the hy- draulics of the channels more accurately than previous orders-of-magnitude estimates reported in the litera- ture.

  • Crater Geometry and Ejecta Thickness of the Martian Impact Crater Tooting
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 42, Nr 9, 1615–1625 (2007) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Crater geometry and ejecta thickness of the Martian impact crater Tooting Peter J. MOUGINIS-MARK and Harold GARBEIL Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai‘i, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822, USA (Received 25 October 2006; revision accepted 04 March 2007) Abstract–We use Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) visible (VIS) images to study the cavity and the ejecta blanket of a very fresh Martian impact crater ~29 km in diameter, with the provisional International Astronomical Union (IAU) name Tooting crater. This crater is very young, as demonstrated by the large depth/ diameter ratio (0.065), impact melt preserved on the walls and floor, an extensive secondary crater field, and only 13 superposed impact craters (all 54 to 234 meters in diameter) on the ~8120 km2 ejecta blanket. Because the pre-impact terrain was essentially flat, we can measure the volume of the crater cavity and ejecta deposits. Tooting crater has a rim height that has >500 m variation around the rim crest and a very large central peak (1052 m high and >9 km wide). Crater cavity volume (i.e., volume below the pre-impact terrain) is ~380 km3 and the volume of materials above the pre-impact terrain is ~425 km3. The ejecta thickness is often very thin (<20 m) throughout much of the ejecta blanket. There is a pronounced asymmetry in the ejecta blanket, suggestive of an oblique impact, which has resulted in up to ~100 m of additional ejecta thickness being deposited down-range compared to the up-range value at the same radial distance from the rim crest.

Introduction: Sulfate species have been detected ronment, with episodes of diagenesis and weathering in late Noachian and Hesperian terrains on Mars lying to form a crystalline hematite lag deposit [4, 5]. The stratigraphically above clay minerals, which has been lag deposit masks the CRISM spectral signature of interpreted as documenting a shift from wetter to more sulfate in most locations. Sulfate minerals including arid environments on the surface.

The deepest expo- diagnostic absorption features in visible and near- sures explored by Opportunity directly are ~10 meters infrared reflectance (VNIR) data acquired from Mars thick at Victoria Crater. Opportunity results indicate orbit. Additionally, two rover missions have explored that the top layers of Burns formation contain up to sites with massive sulfate deposits. The first, the MER 40% sulfate and included Mg, Ca, and Fe species.

The Thermal Emission Spectrometer wavelengths, THEMIS cannot detect the presence of (TES) instrument aboard the Mars Global Surveyor hematite. Three-band, decorrelation-stretched images (MGS) spacecraft located deposits of gray, crystalline can however, provide information about any hematite in Sinus Meridiani, Aram Chaos, and Valles additional mineralogical variability that may be Marineris [1-2]. Since the initial discovery, most present in the area. work has focused on the Sinus Meridiani site, Individual MOLA tracks were used to characterize primarily because of its large size and its probable the regional sloping and tilting occurring within the choice as a landing site for one of NASA’s 2003 crater.
