  • Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars Today?
    Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of liquid water on Mars today? The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has monitored surface feature changes over several Mars years. One of the more intriguing observations has been of the seasonal occurrence of numerous (multi-thousand) dark streak features advancing down equator-facing slopes in several mid-latitude and equatorial regions of the southern hemisphere. Termed Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL), the streak behavior resembles that of a fluid mobilized by increasing surface temperatures – initiating in spring, incrementally extending downslope through summer, and then fading in the fall and winter seasons. The phenomenon is then seen to repeat the following spring. RSLs are narrow in width (meter-scale), requiring our best resolution imaging to see them, but may extend down-slope for hundreds of meters before terminating. Science teams involved in the discovery of RSL have been cautious in concluding a water-based origin since most of the RSL locations are found in environments well outside the pressure-temperature stability field for liquid water. However, the presence of salts such as perchlorate can depress freezing points by tens of degrees. MRO Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) observations of multiple RSL locations show hydrated mineral absorption signals most consistent with magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. That raises the possibility of a Mg-, Na-, Cl-rich brine that would also leave these minerals as a kind of evaporite deposit. However, the amount of water, if present, has been constrained at one location by independent Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS; Mars Odyssey) data analysis and a numerical heat transfer model to 0 wt.%, and up to 3 wt.% given observational uncertainties, unlikely to support a sustained flow.

Among the most compelling evidence in support of a “plume-push” mechanism coincident with plume arrival. They also used is the apparent coincidence between eruption of the Deccan flood basalts around 67–64 Ma lower-resolution (3–6 m.y.) models of seafloor and a short-lived increase in Indian (and decrease in African) plate speed. Using existing spreading data between Africa and Antarctica and newly calculated high-resolution plate-motion models, we show that plate divergence (AFR-ANT) and South America (AFR-SAM) rates briefly increased throughout the Indo-Atlantic circuit, contrary to the expected effects to show decelerations in the 70–45 Ma period.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Crustacea, Malacostraca)*
    SCI. MAR., 63 (Supl. 1): 261-274 SCIENTIA MARINA 1999 MAGELLAN-ANTARCTIC: ECOSYSTEMS THAT DRIFTED APART. W.E. ARNTZ and C. RÍOS (eds.) On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)* ANGELIKA BRANDT Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum, Martin-Luther-King-Platz 3, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany Dedicated to Jürgen Sieg, who silently died in 1996. He inspired this research with his important account of the zoogeography of the Antarctic Tanaidacea. SUMMARY: The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary his- tory of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension feeders on the continental shelf, favoured evolutionary processes of “preadapted“ taxa, like for exam- ple the Peracarida. This taxon performs brood protection and this might be one of the most important reasons why it is very successful (i.e. abundant and diverse) in most terrestrial and aquatic environments, with some species even occupying deserts. The extinction of many decapod crustaceans in the Cenozoic might have allowed the Peracarida to find and use free ecological niches. Therefore the palaeogeographic, palaeoclimatologic, and palaeo-hydrographic changes since the Palaeocene (at least since about 60 Ma ago) and the evolutionary success of some peracarid taxa (e.g. Amphipoda, Isopo- da) led to the evolution of many endemic species in the Antarctic. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Antarctic Tanaidacea, Sieg (1988) demonstrated that the tanaid fauna of the Antarctic is mainly represented by phylogenetically younger taxa, and data from other crustacean taxa led Sieg (1988) to conclude that the recent Antarctic crustacean fauna must be comparatively young.

  • Identification of Volcanic Rootless Cones, Ice Mounds, and Impact 3 Craters on Earth and Mars: Using Spatial Distribution As a Remote 4 Sensing Tool
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 111, XXXXXX, doi:10.1029/2005JE002510, 2006 Click Here for Full Article 2 Identification of volcanic rootless cones, ice mounds, and impact 3 craters on Earth and Mars: Using spatial distribution as a remote 4 sensing tool 1 1 1 2 3 5 B. C. Bruno, S. A. Fagents, C. W. Hamilton, D. M. Burr, and S. M. Baloga 6 Received 16 June 2005; revised 29 March 2006; accepted 10 April 2006; published XX Month 2006. 7 [1] This study aims to quantify the spatial distribution of terrestrial volcanic rootless 8 cones and ice mounds for the purpose of identifying analogous Martian features. Using a 9 nearest neighbor (NN) methodology, we use the statistics R (ratio of the mean NN distance 10 to that expected from a random distribution) and c (a measure of departure from 11 randomness). We interpret R as a measure of clustering and as a diagnostic for 12 discriminating feature types. All terrestrial groups of rootless cones and ice mounds are 13 clustered (R: 0.51–0.94) relative to a random distribution. Applying this same 14 methodology to Martian feature fields of unknown origin similarly yields R of 0.57–0.93, 15 indicating that their spatial distributions are consistent with both ice mound or rootless 16 cone origins, but not impact craters. Each Martian impact crater group has R 1.00 (i.e., 17 the craters are spaced at least as far apart as expected at random). Similar degrees of 18 clustering preclude discrimination between rootless cones and ice mounds based solely on 19 R values.

  • Seismic Evidence for Bottom Current Activity at the Agulhas Ridge
    Global and Planetary Change 34 (2002) 185–198 www.elsevier.com/locate/gloplacha Seismic evidence for bottom current activity at the Agulhas Ridge Etienne Wildeboer Schut *, Gabriele Uenzelmann-Neben, Rainer Gersonde Alfred-Wegener-Institut fu¨r Polar-und Meeresforschung, Bremerhaven, Germany Received 12 August 2000; accepted 11 April 2001 Abstract In the South Atlantic water masses from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet Antarctic water masses. The Agulhas Ridge, a pronounced elevation of the ocean bottom in the eastern South Atlantic, has acted as a barrier for deep oceanic currents since the Cretaceous, such as the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), or water masses derived from AABW such as Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW). The history of these currents is recorded in the sedimentary sequence in the adjacent Cape and Agulhas Basins. Seismic profiles over the Agulhas Ridge show sediment packages in the Cape Basin which are interpreted as contourite sheets. These consist of thick sequences interrupted by widespread hiatuses, with a predominantly low seismic reflectivity. The seismic data shows prominent reflectors inside contourite drift bodies which, at the location of the drill-sites of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 177, can be attributed to hiatuses in the Early Oligocene, the Middle Miocene, around the Miocene/Pliocene boundary and in the early Pleistocene. In this way, ODP Leg 177 cores were used to date an elongate contourite drift in the Cape Basin. This drift shows sediments deposited by a westward current, implying that the bottom current in the Oligocene followed the same trajectory as present-day CDW does.
