2015 Annual Research Report Hanna Sizemore Research Activities (1 2015 Annual Research Report Hanna Sizemore Research Activities (1) Dawn at Ceres Guest Investigator – global geologic mapping of morphological features related to ground ice. As a Dawn guest investigator I am using Framing Camera data to identify, catalog, and map morphological features that are potentially diagnostic of water ice in the shallow subsurface of Ceres. Features of identified to date include domed hills, lobate ejecta and flows, and pitted terrains. I am also participating in the coordinated geologic mapping effort underway at Ceres by producing maps of the Ac-H-13 Urvara Quadrangle. (2) Laboratory investigation of ice lens development on Mars: continued hardware development/modification with Michael Mellon. In 2014-2015 we fabricated a small Mars environmental chamber at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) that allowed us to deposit ice in soil from the vapor phase and observe the ice segregation process. Preliminary science results were consistent with theoretical predictions. The focus of our effort this year was transporting all hardware to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL) where new experiments will take place in 2016. (3) Theoretical investigation of rock mobility in martian permafrost. This project is in its early stages. Efforts this year focused on making preliminary estimates of rock migration rates and identifying appropriate force balance equations and material parameterizations for more detailed calculations.

Introduction: We used Dawn spacecraft data to effectively defining geologic formations for Urvara produce geologic maps of the Ac-13 Urvara (21-66°S, and Yalode. Yalode units include Yalode ejecta, 180-270°E) and Ac-14 Yalode (21-66°S, 270-360°E) evident N and S of the basin, and Yalode floor material Quadrangles of dwarf planet Ceres (Fig. 1) [1]. Dawn hummocky, deposits interpreted to be degraded terrace Framing Camera (FC) datasets [2-4], including image materials mixed with local mass-wasting and perhaps mosaics, DTMs, and color/color ratio images, were Urvara ejecta. Yalode ejecta has a hummocky surface used with ArcGIS software to analyze Ceres’ surface with scarps, ridges, and grooves trending in both geology and geologic evolution in these and circumferential and radial patterns. Urvara, which is surrounding areas affected by the Urvara and Yalode better preserved and clearly overlies Yalode, includes impact basins. The Urvara and Yalode maps are 2 of central peak, terrace, and floor (hummocky and 15 Low Altitude Mapping Orbit (LAMO; 35 m/pixel)- smooth) units in addition to Urvara ejecta.

Gemini Dr. Flagstaff AZ, 18 86001, [email protected], 928-556-7080. 19 20 Prior to NASA's Dawn mission [1], the dwarf planet Ceres was widely believed to be 21 differentiated and contain a substantial ice-rich layer below its rocky surface [2]. At Ceres' 22 semi-major axis (2.77 AU), its temporally averaged surface temperature virtually ensures 23 that large impact craters should be erased on short geologic timescales if Ceres is, in fact, 24 ice-rich [3]. In contrast to these expectations, Dawn Framing Camera (FC) images of Ceres 25 revealed a heavily cratered surface [4]. Here we use digital terrain models (DTMs) derived 26 from these images to show that most of Ceres’ largest craters are several kilometers deep, 27 suggesting little viscous relaxation of crater topography has occurred over billion year 28 timescales.
