Scientific paper

The area studied is part of a complex set of groove lanes that intersect at the northern part of Marius Regio, a polygonal region of dark terrain in northern Ganymede. Voyager-based regional map units in the target area consist of, in ascending stratigraphic order: dark furrowed material, grooved light material, and light smooth material. The targeted groove lane trends NW and is parallel to Nippur Sulcus and Mashu Sulcus, and lies at the confluence of several dark terrain furrow trends, at the intersection of a NW (younger) and ENE-trending (older) pair of groove lanes; it also has an unusual dark and bright-haloed C2 crater within the groove lane. Questions posed for this target site included: What are the morphology of furrows and processes of formation and modification in the dark terrain? What is the sequence of events in the dark terrain and how does it compare to other dark terrain areas? What is the morphology of the grooved terrain lane and its grooves and the origin of regional patterns of groove orientation (e.g., the boundary and stratigraphy between the two groove sets)? How was the light material in the grooved terrain lane emplaced? What is the relationship between the dark terrain and the formation and evolution of the groove lane? What are the characteristics of the unusual dark-bright haloed crater at high resolution?
