The relationships obtained by Kilburn and Lopes (1988, 1990) for their models of lava flow fields were used to calculate the duration of the emplacement, the average discharge rates, and the average velocities of lavas for the Martian volcano Alba Patera, on which two distinct planimetric types of lava flow field were identified. The validity of using terrestrial analogues for investigating the emplacement conditions of the Alba Patera flow fields is examined. It is concluded that, at least for basaltic-basaltic andesitic compositions, the essential conditions of eruption from Alba Patera may have been similar to those currently observed on earth.
