Global and hemispheric climatic, volcanic and impact events that modulated the formation of the Martian polar layered deposits can be revealed by detailed stratigraphic analyses of well-exposed sequences of those layers. Complete three-dimensional Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topography of the north and south polar deposits is now available, and very abundant Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) imagery that is well calibrated is becoming available. This paper presents an assessment of the polar stratigraphic potential based on observations from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mapping cycles through M7. Additional information can be found in the original extended abstract.
