HiRISE: Dune erosion and streaks
Dune erosion and streaks. One of the many seasonal images we take to detect changes. In this case, we want to quantify the process of erosion driven by sublimation on the dunes. (Sublimation is the process of going directly from … Continue reading

HiRISE: A candidate human exploration zone of Maja Valles entry into Chryse Planitia
A candidate human exploration zone of Maja Valles entry into Chryse Planitia. Evidence of clays could provide potential resource to be used. There is also ample evidence of aqueous processes that could be enhanced by direct observation of the mineralogy … Continue reading
