Clay minerals, found in exposures of Noachian crust across the globe, preserve widespread evidence for early weathering, hydrothermal, and diagenetic aqueous environments. Noachian and Hesperian sediments include paleolake deposits with clays, carbonates, sulfates, and chlorides that are more localized in extent.

  • Explosive Lava‐Water Interactions in Elysium Planitia, Mars: Geologic and Thermodynamic Constraints on the Formation of the Tartarus Colles Cone Groups Christopher W
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 115, E09006, doi:10.1029/2009JE003546, 2010 Explosive lava‐water interactions in Elysium Planitia, Mars: Geologic and thermodynamic constraints on the formation of the Tartarus Colles cone groups Christopher W. Hamilton,1 Sarah A. Fagents,1 and Lionel Wilson2 Received 16 November 2009; revised 11 May 2010; accepted 3 June 2010; published 16 September 2010. [1] Volcanic rootless constructs (VRCs) are the products of explosive lava‐water interactions. VRCs are significant because they imply the presence of active lava and an underlying aqueous phase (e.g., groundwater or ice) at the time of their formation. Combined mapping of VRC locations, age‐dating of their host lava surfaces, and thermodynamic modeling of lava‐substrate interactions can therefore constrain where and when water has been present in volcanic regions. This information is valuable for identifying fossil hydrothermal systems and determining relationships between climate, near‐surface water abundance, and the potential development of habitable niches on Mars. We examined the western Tartarus Colles region (25–27°N, 170–171°E) in northeastern Elysium Planitia, Mars, and identified 167 VRC groups with a total area of ∼2000 km2. These VRCs preferentially occur where lava is ∼60 m thick. Crater size‐frequency relationships suggest the VRCs formed during the late to middle Amazonian. Modeling results suggest that at the time of VRC formation, near‐surface substrate was partially desiccated, but that the depth to the midlatitude ice table was ]42 m. This ground ice stability zone is consistent with climate models that predict intermediate obliquity (∼35°) between 75 and 250 Ma, with obliquity excursions descending to ∼25–32°.

  • Dark Dunes on Mars
    CHAPTER II: PLANET MARS – THE BACKGROUND Like Earth, its neighbour planet, Mars, is a terrestrial planet with a solid surface, an atmosphere, two ice-covered pole caps, and not one but two moons (Phobos and Deimos). Some differences, such as a greater distance to the sun, a smaller diameter, a thinner atmosphere, and the longer duration of a year distinguish Mars from the Earth, not to forget the absence of life…so far. Nevertheless, there are many correlations between terrestrial and Martian geological and geomorphological processes, permitting researchers to apply knowledge from terrestrial studies more or less directly to Mars. However, a closer look reveals that the dissimilarities, though few, can make fundamental differences in process background and development. The following chapter provides a brief but necessary insight into the geological and physical background of this planet, imparting to the reader some fundamental knowledge about Mars, which is useful for understanding this work. Fig. 1 presents an impression of Mars viewed from space. Figure 1: The planet Mars: a global view (Viking 1 Orbiter mosaic [NASA]). Chapter II Planet Mars – The Background 5 Table 1 provides a summary of some major astronomical and physical parameters of Mars, giving the reader an impression of the extent to which they differ from terrestrial values.

  • Underlying Structural Control of Small-Scale Faults and Fractures in West Candor Chasma, Mars C
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 117, E11001, doi:10.1029/2012JE004144, 2012 Underlying structural control of small-scale faults and fractures in West Candor Chasma, Mars C. Birnie,1 F. Fueten,1 R. Stesky,2 and E. Hauber3 Received 29 May 2012; revised 4 September 2012; accepted 18 September 2012; published 2 November 2012. [1] Orientations of small-scale faults and fractures within the interior layered deposits of West Candor Chasma were measured to investigate what information about the geologic history of Valles Marineris they can contribute. Deformational features were separated into six categories based on morphology and their orientations were analyzed. The elevations at which the deformational features formed are recorded, as a proxy for stratigraphic level. Deformational features occur over a continuous range of elevations and display regionally consistent preferred orientations, indicating their formation was controlled by a regional stress regime. The two most abundant preferred orientations of 35 and 110 are approximately parallel to the chasma walls and the inferred underlying normal faults. The alignment of three populations of small faults at 140, consistent with the morphology of release faults, indicates a large-scale fault underlying the southeastern border of Ceti Mensa. The preferred orientations imply these small-scale deformational features formed from a continuation of the same imposed stresses responsible for the formation of Valles Marineris, indicating these stresses existed past the formation of the interior layered deposits. The origins of a fourth preferred orientation of 70 is less clear but suggests the study area has undergone at least two periods of deformation. Citation: Birnie, C., F.
