Busy preparing a new Outreach talk here, and have been trying to find some images to illustrate the "power" of HiRISE for a non-technical audience. Playing about with - sorry, carefully looking at the images on - the addictive Mars Global Data site I found a cute landslide on Xanthe Terra that does the trick nicely. Using the IAS Viewer you can zoom in on the boulders carried down the slope by the landslide and even see cracks and splits in them... unbelievable...!
Anyone else got any fave examples? -------------------- |

Stu, that's not resolving; can you check your source? I think there should be six digits in the first cluster of numbers. Emily try ESP_014394_2045 . -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

...holy [clinking] [clink!!!!] Can't believe what I'm looking at here, Stu, what a find! It's not a "find"; the image is already labelled "bouncing boulder" on the HiRISE site. I just coloured it in a bit :-) -------------------- |

Aah, you still deserve the props, big guy. It's an important image for understanding the behavior of these things; thanks for bringing it to life!

How could a dust avalanche flow around the boulder so neatly?

Has this been mentioned here before? I'm not sure how old it is!

Some colourised crops of the amazing layers visible in the new MRO image of Arabia Terra ( http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_014033_1910 )

thx for those crops Stu. Looks like some dried up terraced hillsides. Those Martians must have really been into gardening!

Stu,
Your work rocks! (next time I am in England, I need to stop by for a tutorial from the color master! What is your hourly rate?) Cheers -------------------- CLA CLL
