A new paper argues that HiRISE photos show evidence for recent short-lived surface water flows. Neat pictures on Phil Plait's site (my source for the news).
It would be interesting to learn if there was any MGS coverage of the same area. TTT |

These gully-like features in Russell crater were described by Nicholas Mangold and others in 2003 using MGS MOC and MOLA images:
Mangold, N.; Costard, F.; Forget, F. (2003). Debris Flows over Sand Dunes on Mars: Evidence for Liquid Water. J. Geophys. Res., 108(E4), 5027, doi:10.1029/2002JE001958. Michael Carr also discusses them briefly in his book The Surface of Mars, 2006. Tom FULL INLINE QUOTE REMOVED - Admin |
