Scientific paper

The debate about the emplacement process for the fluidized ejecta surrounding many Martian craters has focused on effects of (1) the thin Martian atmosphere, and (2) volatile in the target materials (water or water ice). This problem has been approached using: morphological studies of impact craters on Mars and other bodies, and experimental impact, explosion crater, theoretical, and numerical studies. Combined results from these studies indicate that subsurface volatiles (water) play a critical role in the origin of these craters and that the particular type of ejecta morphology was ultimately controlled by the phase of the water in the subsurface that existed during impact.
