Scientific paper

Martian calderas are useful from the terrestrial perspective in that they preserve structures associated with their evolution. We have recently completed a compilation of the characteristics of calderas on Mars that enable an assessment of the significance of their structures with respect to both regional structure and magma emplacement processes. The influence of regional stress patterns on magma emplacement, dike orientation and shape, and magma chambers is becoming better understood. On Mars, many patterns of regional strain may be adequately modeled as arising from global topography, particularly that associated with the large volcanic rises of Tharsis and Elysium. In this study we examine whether patterns of regional stress in the younger volcanic provinces are consistent with these effects or whether other influences might have been important.
