THEMIS observations are combined with other remote-sensing data sets of a small area in Melas Chasma to better understand the present surface layer in this scientifically interesting region. Visible and daytime thermal images are used to understand the geomorphology of the region while nighttime thermal images are used to address the thermophysical characteristics of the upper decimeter of the surface. Using this data, we constrain the properties of and processes acting on the present surface and create self-consistent models for the surface layer. Observations show more thermal structure and variation than seen at lower resolution, which correspond extraordinarily well to the geology. The surface layer varies significantly across this small area and includes exposed landslides, particulate sand sheets and possible transverse dunes, and indurated or rocky rounded interior deposits.
