Scientific paper

This study focuses on one of the several fluvial systems located on the eastern rim region of the Hellas basin, Mars. We have analyzed the morphologic and morphometric characteristics of this extensive, over 650km long channel system. Beginning from Hesperia Planum, it intersects several basins and exhibits a multitude of flow morphologies. Eventually, it merges with Reull Vallis at 39.5°S, 98.1°E. The eroded volume of surface materials by this particular channel system is roughly 73 km3. The existence of numerous other, similar channels along the Hellas margin suggests that surface runoff may have played a significant role in the degradation of the basin rim.
