HiRISE: Layering and faulting in layered deposits in Candor Chasma
Layering and faulting in layered deposits in Candor Chasma. This observation was a last minute one done as nadir-only, meaning when the camera is pointing straight down at the surface, as opposed to an angle when we want to create … Continue reading

HiRISE: Delta-like lobes in Aeolis Dorsa
Delta-like lobes in Aeolis Dorsa. Branching fluvial deposits appear similar to others at Aeolis Dorsa which have been interpreted as delta-like. With HiRISE images and elevation models we would be able to measure deposit thicknesses more accurately. Observations like these … Continue reading
