Scientific paper

A modified delay-Doppler technique has been used with the Arecibo S-band radar during the 1990 opposition of Mars, in order to conduct radar-reflectivity mapping. Strong, depolarized echoes are noted in the Elysium flood basin and outflow channel, as well as Elysium Mons, consistent with the covering of the basin/channel floor by lava flows. Most of the radar-bright basin/channel corresponds to areas mapped as volcanic by both Plescia (1990) and Scott and Chapman (1991).
