Scientific paper
It has been recognized for many years that wind injects dust into the atmosphere on Mars and moves around thin layers of surface material. An investigation is conducted regarding the rates of eolian transport on Mars in the context of eolian channel formation. A model is developed for the formation of an erosional channel by sandblasting with materials transported by wind out of chaotic terrains. This model is applied to the interpretation of topographic measurements made in the chaotic terrain source area and channel of Aromatum Vallis, a small well-preserved channel system southwest of the Chryse basin, and constraints are developed on the eolian mechanism.
