  • Formation of Mangala Valles Outflow Channel, Mars: Morphological Development and Water Discharge and Duration Estimates Harald J
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, E08003, doi:10.1029/2006JE002851, 2007 Click Here for Full Article Formation of Mangala Valles outflow channel, Mars: Morphological development and water discharge and duration estimates Harald J. Leask,1 Lionel Wilson,1 and Karl L. Mitchell1,2 Received 24 October 2006; revised 3 April 2007; accepted 24 April 2007; published 4 August 2007. [1] The morphology of features on the floor of the Mangala Valles suggests that the channel system was not bank-full for most of the duration of its formation by water being released from its source, the Mangala Fossa graben. For an estimated typical 50 m water depth, local slopes of sin a = 0.002 imply a discharge of 1 Â 107 m3 sÀ1, a water flow speed of 9msÀ1, and a subcritical Froude number of 0.7–0.8. For a range of published estimates of the volume of material eroded from the channel system this implies a duration of 17 days if the sediment carrying capacity of the 15,000 km3 of water involved had been 40% by volume. If the sediment load had been 20% by volume, the duration would have been 46 days and the water volume required would have been 40,000 km3. Implied bed erosion rates lie in the range 1to12 m/day. If the system had been bank-full during the early stages of channel development the discharge could have been up to 108 m3 sÀ1, with flow speeds of 15 m sÀ1 and a subcritical Froude number of 0.4–0.5.

  • Alluvial Fans As Potential Sites for Preservation of Biosignatures on Mars
    Alluvial Fans as Potential Sites for Preservation of Biosignatures on Mars Phylindia Gant August 15, 2016 Candidate, Masters of Environmental Science Committee Chair: Dr. Deborah Lawrence Committee Member: Dr. Manuel Lerdau, Dr. Michael Pace 2 I. Introduction Understanding the origin of life Life on Earth began 3.5 million years ago as the temperatures in the atmosphere were cool enough for molten rocks to solidify (Mojzsis et al 1996). Water was then able to condense and fall to the Earth’s surface from the water vapor that collected in the atmosphere from volcanoes. Additionally, atmospheric gases from the volcanoes supplied Earth with carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Even though the oxygen was not free oxygen, it was possible for life to begin from the primordial ooze. The environment was ripe for life to begin, but how would it begin? This question has intrigued humanity since the dawn of civilization. Why search for life on Mars There are several different scientific ways to answer the question of how life began. Some scientists believe that life started out here on Earth, evolving from a single celled organism called Archaea. Archaea are a likely choice because they presently live in harsh environments similar to the early Earth environment such as hot springs, deep sea vents, and saline water (Wachtershauser 2006). Another possibility for the beginning of evolution is that life traveled to Earth on a meteorite from Mars (Whitted 1997). Even though Mars is anaerobic, carbonate-poor and sulfur rich, it was warm and wet when Earth first had organisms evolving (Lui et al.

  • Compressional Tectonism on Mars
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 98, NO. E9, PAGES 17,049-17,060, SEPTEMBER 25, 1993 Compressional Tectonism on Mars THOMAS R. WATTERS Centerfor Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington,D.C. Contractional features on Mars were identified on the basis of photogeologic evidence of crustal shortening and comparison with terrestrial and planetary analogs. Three classes of structures, wrinkle ridges. lobate scarps and high-relief ridges. were mapped and their spatial and temporal distribution assessed. Wrinkle ridges account for over 80% of the total cumulative length of the mapped contractional features and occur in smooth plains material interpreted to be volcanic in origin. Lobate scarps, not wrinkle ridges, are the dominant contractional feature in Martian highland material. The pattern of contractional features in the western hemisphere reflects the hemispheric-scale iduence of the Tharsis rise. Although no comparable hemispheric- scale pattern is observed in the eastern hemisphere, prominent regional-scale patterns exist, the most notable of which occurs in Hesperia Planum. Contractional features that locally parallel the trend of the cmstal dichotomy boundary in the eastern hemisphere suggest the influence of stresses related to the evolution of the dichotomy. Compressional deformation apparently peaked during the Early Hesperia, if the tectonic features are roughly the same age as the units in which they occur. This peak in compressional deformation corresponds with Early Hesperian volcanic resurfacing of a large portion of the planet. Thermal history models for Mars, based on an initially hot planet, are inconsistent with estimates of the timing of peak compressional tectonism and the rate of volcanism.

  • GEOMORPHIC EVIDENCE for ANCIENT RIVERS and LAKES on MARS Mike Hart, [email protected]
    GEOMORPHIC EVIDENCE FOR ANCIENT RIVERS AND LAKES ON MARS Mike Hart, [email protected] NASA scientists have found evidence for large amounts of water on Mars that existed billions of years ago and theorize that Mars had oceans that were up to one mile deep. This period, termed the Noachian Period, ended approximately 3.7 Gya (billion yrs. ago.). So what happened to all that water? Most planetary scientists believe that atmospheric water was stripped away by solar winds that were able to deplete the water after Mars lost its magnetic field. It is calculated that solar winds currently are depleting atmospheric water at a rate of approximately ¼ pound/second (the rate was once much higher). That Mars once had a magnetic field is attested to by the magnetism detected in Martian rocks by NASA experiments during the rover expeditions. The reason the planet does not currently have a magnetic field is the subject of much speculation. One possible explanation is that the iron core is no longer producing the field because it has cooled and solidified. Mars low gravity which is approximately 38 percent of Earth’s likely also contributed to the loss of water. The geomorphic evidence that water was once plentiful on Mars consists of ancient strandlines in some of the major depressions, streamlined islands in river channels, scoured outflow channels, deltas at the terminus of rivers, and subaqueous landslides. Below are examples of some of these features taken from Google Mars images and NASA orbititer missions. Martian equivalent of Lake Tahoe Landslide in an ancient lake bed.

  • Long Term Ice Survival in Kasei Valles, Mars
    Long term ice survival in Kasei Valles, Mars A.J.Hepburn1,2, F.S.L.Ng2, T.O.Holt1, and B.Hubbard1 1Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth SY23 3DB, UK 2Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK 1 Summary • Located amongst the lava deposits of Kasei Valles (∼27◦N ∼73◦W) are a series of enigmatic de- pressions that surround isolated mesas and are found parallel to scarps (Figure 1). These de- pressions demarcate the past interaction between flowing lava and former lobate debris aprons (LDAs), which have long since disappeared (Hauber et al., 2008). We term these features, ghost LDA depressions. Here we derive model ages for depressions, mesas and the lava flow from crater counts. We approximate the surface and volume of former glacial ice deposits using a 2D model of glacial ice constrained by the topography of ghost LDA depressions and a range of values for yield stress, τy, derived from contemporary LDAs (Karlsson et al., 2015). • Our modelling indicates between 2277–5227 km3 of ice existed in Kasei Valles at the time of lava formation (∼1.31 Ga) with a mean thickness of 100 m–240 m (where τy=16–80 kPa). CSFD dating of the ghost LDA depressions, and of the mesas contained therein show that the former LDAs survived for a minimum additional time ranging from 0.2 to 1.1 Gyr (Figure 3). • Former LDAs reconstructed represent some of the oldest glacial ice masses on Mars. Dating and modelling of ghost LDA depressions yield a unique insight into low latitude ice in the early Amazo- nian, beyond the known extent of contemporary ice-rich VFFs and before the oldest estimates of mid-latitude glacial activity 1 2 Key figures Figure 1: The Kasei Valles region, ghost lobate debris apron (ghost LDA) depression, and a con- temporary LDA.
