Ares Vallis, Erosion: Fluvial, Mars

Scientific paper

The mapping of the Ares Vallis region, Mars, has brought about the identification of 12 new geologic units, seven of which are used to refine the sequence of events which shaped the formation of this outflow channel and its surroundings. The region mapped, at 1:2M scale, spans the terrain from 30 degrees N to 15 degrees S, and 10 degrees to 45 degrees W. Also investigated was geomorphologic evidence for fluvial sheetwash over the Npl2 (Noachian Plateau, subdued member) geologic units within the Ares Vallis region. Three sites outside of this region, selected based on respective distance from presumed fluvial activity, were used to test whether other Npl2 units were smoothed in a similar manner. _
