Scientific paper

A global 3-D model of groundwater flow has been used to study possible behavior of groundwater on Mars and its role in creating fluvial features. Conclusions drawn from an earlier 2-D groundwater model are supplemented and expanded. Topical headings are discussed as follows: timescales of groundwater flow; wet areas on Mars and location of outflow channels; implications for valley networks; the enigma of Hellas; absence of fluvial or periglacial features on Syrtis Major; development of chaotic terrain and associated outflow channels; and structurally controlled valley networks.
