[1] The HiRISE camera features a 0.5 m diameter primary mirror, 12 m effective focal length, and a focal plane system that can acquire images containing up to 28 Gb (gigabits) of data in as little as 6 seconds. HiRISE will provide detailed images (0.25 to 1.3 m/pixel) covering 1% of the Martian surface during the 2-year Primary Science Phase (PSP) beginning November 2006. Most images will include color data covering 20% of the potential field of view. A top priority is to acquire 1000 stereo pairs and apply precision geometric corrections to enable topographic measurements to better than 25 cm vertical precision. We expect to return more than 12 Tb of HiRISE data during the 2-year PSP, and use pixel binning, conversion from 14 to 8 bit values, and a lossless compression system to increase coverage. HiRISE images are acquired via 14 CCD detectors, each with 2 output channels, and with multiple choices for pixel binning and number of Time Delay and Integration lines.

Age control is provided by radiocarbon as well as luminescence dating, using both 28 quartz and feldspar grains. It is shown that the fluvial system was active from the Asir 29 Mountains across the partially sand-covered interior of the Arabian Peninsula to the Arabian 30 Gulf during the Holocene humid period.

  • An Evaluation of Probable Bedrock Exposure in the Sinus Meridian! Region of the Martian Highlands
    Proceedings of Lunar and Planetary Science, Volume 21, pp. 645-655 Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, 1991 645 An Evaluation of Probable Bedrock Exposure in the Sinus Meridian! Region of the Martian Highlands J. R. Zimbelman and R. A. Craddock Center for Eartb and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560 The study region (15°N to 15°S, 330° to 360°W) includes portions of the classical low-albedo regions of Sinus Meridiani and Sinus Sabaeus and the high-albedo region of Arabia and is entirely within the entered highlands of Mars This region has been the subject of several spectral reflectance studies and it is also included in global studies at thermal infrared and radar wavelengths. More than 400 high- resolution (8-36 m/pixel) Viking images in the study area were used to estimate the percentage of the area of each frame having locally steep slopes, here assumed to be the most probable locality for exposure of bedrock. Forty-two percent of the high-resolution frames have <l% probable bedrock exposure while 5% of the frames have 15% probable bedrock exposure, the maximum observed value. Rims of young impact craters and scarps account for most of the bedrock exposure locations Eroded layets of competent material compose the majority of steep slopes at some locations in low-albedo areas (e.g., 0° to 8°N, 350° to 360° W); these locations are also associated with local enhancements of thermal inertia that may be related to surface exposures of indurated sediments. There is no significant difference in probable bedrock exposure between high-albedo and low-albedo regions, and there is no apparent correlation between bedrock exposure and the units defined by cither spectral reflectance studies or photogeologic mapping.

  • The Geological and Climatological Case for a Warmer and Wetter Early Mars
    THE GEOLOGICAL AND CLIMATOLOGICAL CASE FOR A WARMER AND WETTER EARLY MARS Ramses M. Ramirezi Robert A. Craddockii iEarth-Life Science Institute (ELSI), Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan (Formerly: Cornell Center of Astrophysics and Planetary Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, 14850) iiCenter for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA, 20560 The climate of early Mars remains a topic of intense debate. Ancient terrains preserve landscapes consistent with stream channels, lake basins, and possibly even oceans, and thus the presence of liquid water flowing on the Martian surface 4 billion years ago. However, despite the geological evidence, determining how long climatic conditions supporting liquid water lasted remains uncertain. Climate models have struggled to generate sufficiently warm surface conditions given the faint young Sun - even assuming a denser early atmosphere. A warm climate could have potentially been sustained by supplementing atmospheric CO2 and H2O warming with either secondary greenhouse gases or clouds. Alternatively, the Martian climate could have been predominantly cold and icy, with transient warming episodes triggered by meteoritic impacts, volcanic eruptions, methane bursts, or limit cycles. Here, we argue that a warm and semi-arid climate capable of producing rain is most consistent with the geological and climatological evidence. Today, the surface of Mars resembles that indiscriminately when the Sun was very of a hyper-arid desert. Perennially dry and young and much more active9. cold, mean surface temperatures are ~70 K lower than on the Earth, and the atmosphere The widespread occurrence of clays also strongly supports the notion of persistent is only ~1% as thick.

  • Recent Work Challenges View of Early Mars, Picturing a Warm Desert with Occasional Rain 3 May 2018
    Recent work challenges view of early Mars, picturing a warm desert with occasional rain 3 May 2018 warm and wet climate. Secondly, recent climate studies have argued that Mars' ancient fluvial features can be accounted for with an icy climate, where widespread surfaces of ice promoted cooling by reflecting solar radiation (Figure 2). Occasional warming events would have triggered large amounts of ice-melt, and fluvial activity as a result. However, Ramirez and Craddock suggest that early The simplified surface energy balance for early Mars Mars was probably warm and wet, and not so icy, showing the decrease in surface temperature with after a careful geological and climatological increasing amounts of surface ice. The resultant analysis revealed little evidence of widespread increase in surface reflectivity is represented by a glaciation. widening blue arrow. Credit: Ramirez and Craddock (2018), Nature Geoscience The climate of early Mars is a subject of debate. While it has been thought that Mars had a warm and wet climate like Earth, other researchers have suggested early Mars might have been largely glaciated. A recent study by Ramses Ramirez from the Earth-Life Science Institute (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) and Robert Craddock from the National Air and Space Museum's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (Smithsonian Institution, U.S.) suggests that the early Martian surface may not have been dominated by ice, but might instead have been modestly warm and prone to rain, with only small patches of ice.

  • The Geology of Ancient Fluvial and Lacustrine Systems in Arabia Terra and Melas Chasma, Mars
    THE GEOLOGY OF ANCIENT FLUVIAL AND LACUSTRINE SYSTEMS IN ARABIA TERRA AND MELAS CHASMA, MARS A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Joel Michael Davis Department of Earth Sciences University College London Gower Street WC1E 6BT July 2017 1 I would like to dedicate this thesis to the men and women who have made the past five decades of Mars exploration possible. Per aspera ad astra. 2 Declaration I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated.

However, key questions remain about the extent of these processes and the climate in which they formed. This thesis examines two regions of Mars, Arabia Terra and Melas Chasma, using high-resolution, remote sensing datasets, with a focus on (1) the influence of fluvial and lacustrine processes on the landscape and (2) the implications for the early martian climate and environment. I first investigate Arabia Terra, a Noachian region of the southern highlands, and have produced a regional map of fluvial landforms. Fluvial channels and paleolakes preserved as inverted relief are pervasive throughout Arabia Terra and may represent the depositional component of a regional, south to north fluvial transport system.
