Scientific paper

A detailed modeling of the observed crater populations in stratigraphic unit mappings of the Martian south pole region is presently used to establish absolute constraints on the age of materials' emplacement. Modeling results indicate that cratered terrains poleward of 65 deg south latitude have subsequently experienced a steady-state net accumulation of materials at about 0.1 km/Ga; equatorial cratered terrains have by contrast retained a virtually pristine form.
