Tuesday, March 18, 2014 [T632] POSTER SESSION: ROVER SCALE GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY 6:00 p.m. Town Center Exhibit Area

Calef F. J. III Arvidson R. Sletten R. Williams R. Grotzinger J. POSTER LOCATION #441 Surface Roughness Derived from HiRISE Visible Imagery: A Case Study at the MSL Landing Site [#1614] Surface roughness helps discriminate terrain types and is useful for assessing rover traverse on Mars. We use HiRISE image texture to evaluate this parameter.

Jacob S. R. Rowland S. Calef III F. J. Stack K. M. MSL Team POSTER LOCATION #442 Characteristics and Origin of a Cratered Unit near the MSL Bradbury Landing Site ( Crater, Mars) Based on Analyses of Surface Data and Orbital Imagery [#1395] The MSL landing ellipse was mapped into six units, one being the cratered surfaces. This project focuses on subdividing this unit and determining its origin.

Le Mouélic S. Gasnault O. Herkenhoff K. E. Bridges N. T. Langevin Y. et al. POSTER LOCATION #443 Using ChemCam Remote Micro-Imager Onboard MSL for Long Distance Reconnaissance Campaigns [#1361] This abstract describes the first imaging experiments performed at infinity focus with the ChemCam instrument onboard Curiosity.

Williams A. J. Williams J. M. Anderson R. B. Edgar L. A. Newsom H. et al. POSTER LOCATION #444 Determining Grain Characteristics in the Shaler Outcrop with ChemCam Remote Micro-Imager Mosaics [#2342] Analysis of grain size distribution from RMI mosaics (Curiosity) are used to better define variations in grain size and facies in the Shaler outcrop.

Schieber J. Rubin D. Rossman B. Rowland S. Minitti M. et al. POSTER LOCATION #445 Closing in on a Martian Mudstone [#2488] Explains the steps by which the first martian mudstone was identified, and how eolian erosion experiments help to deduct texture from images.

Kuzmin R. O. Mitrofanov I. G. Litvak M. L. Sanin A. B. Hardgrove C. et al. POSTER LOCATION #446 Mars: Looking for Between Local Micro-Morphology Diversity Along the Rover Curiosity Traverse in the Gale Crater and Variability of the DAN Active Mode Measurements [#1240] We will report about correlation between a variability in the DAN active mode measurements and local diversity of surface micromorphology and regolith texture.

Fairen A. G. Squyres S. W. Grotzinger J. P. Calvin W. M. Ruff S. W. POSTER LOCATION #447 Hollowed Spherules Identified with the MER Near and at , Western Rim of Crater, Mars [#1566] We report the identification of a new type of spherules not previously described in Meridiani: hollowed spherules.

Jones D. Calvin W. M. DeSouza P. Joliff B. L. POSTER LOCATION #448 Martian Spherule Size Distribution Bewteen Eagle and Endurance Craters from Opportunity Rover MI Images [#2026] A look at the size distribution of martian spherules including “blueberries” as well as other spherule types from Opportunity Rover at . 45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (2014) sess632.pdf

Johnson J. R. Grundy W. M. Lemmon M. E. Bell J. F. III Deen R. G. POSTER LOCATION #449 Surface Photometric Properties Along the Mars Exploration Rovers’ Traverses: Sols 500–1525 [#1371] Pancam photometric multispectral observations were acquired between Sols 500 and 1525 along the and Opportunity traverses that augment previous analyses.

Parker T. J. Bills B. G. MER Science Team POSTER LOCATION #450 Coastal Geomorphology at Endeavour Crater: Observations by the Opportunity Rover [#1554] The Endeavour rim mountains are bounded by an apron of reworked surfaces and sediment onlaps resembling terrestrial lakeshores that are tilted into the crater.
