By quantifying the displacement of ripples on Martian dunes, migration rate is found to linearly correlate to elevation on a given dune, showing that the dunes are near steady state and allowing a determination of dune migration rate and sand flux. Fluxes at the dune crests are comparable to values in Victoria Valley, Antarctica. This shows that rates of landscape modification in sand-rich and gusty areas on Mars are similar to those on Earth.
