HiRISE: Two flows
Two flows. The objective of this observation is to examine two flows near the base of a mound. There seem to be a number of flows like these in the region. Reull Vallis is believed to have formed when running … Continue reading
The banded terrain on Mars
Planetary Geomorphology Image of the Month, March 1, 2019: Hannes Bernhardt (Arizona State University). An article on the banded terrain cannot be commenced by a traditional definition, as it appears to be a truly singular occurrence in the Solar System. … Continue reading

HiRISE: A mass of viscous flow features
Viscous, lobate flow features are commonly found at the bases of slopes in the mid-latitudes of Mars, and are often associated with gullies. These features are bound by ridges that resemble terrestrial moraines, suggesting that these deposits are ice-rich, or … Continue reading

HiRISE: Tale of two flows
This image was taken in one of the regions on Mars well-known for its viscous flow features (VFF), which are massive flowing deposits believed to be composed of a mixture of ice and dust similar to glaciers on Earth. In … Continue reading
