Scientific paper

Mapping highland and lowland channels and reassessing their time-stratigraphic positions shows that many channels in the cratered highlands are younger than Noachian, that all channels in the lowland plains are Hesperian or younger, and that although Martian channels formed throughout the planet's history, the rate of their formation appears to have declined with time. This detailed examination of the age relation between Martian terrains and the channels that transect them was made possible by the completion of the global geologic maps of Mars and the availability of other geologic maps at scales of 1:5,000,000, 1:2,000,000, and 1:500,000. The present study focuses on the sources (heads) of the channels of the initial study to see if there is a relation between channel age and elevation.
