HiRISE 3D: Dune Monitoring in a Northern Mid-Latitude Crater

This was part of a seasonal series to track changes over time. This image had less frost than previous observations.

Megaripple Stripes on Mars

Among the undulating topography of this dune field in Rabe Crater, one notable feature is the presence of distinct megaripple stripes. These megaripples gather in parallel rows.

Hematite in Capri Chasma: The Thermal Emission Spectrometer on the Mars Global Surveyor detected hematite along the chasma floor and edges of these mesas in Capi Chasma. Hematite is typically formed in aqueous environments.

HiRISE 3D: Light-Toned Exposures near Voeykov Crater

Our goal here is a comparison with CaSSIS DTM and stratigraphy. CaSSIS also identified peculiar color variation here.

HiPOD: The Floor of Mawrth Vallis

CRISM data shows a localized, unique spectral phase consistent with poly-hydrated sulfate or zeolite here on the Mawrth Vallis channel floor, with implications for the regional history.

HiPOD: Noachian Bedrock Diversity

In an adjacent image we acquired in 2008, there was terrfiic color and texture diversity, so this observation was acquired to extend coverage.

HiPOD: The Pits of Elysium Mons

An unexpected feature of this catena is the presence of avalanches in two of the pits. The flows in both pits could be ancient, produced during the formation of the catena,

HiRISE 3D: Terracing Inside and Outside a Degraded Crater Rim

This image shows multiple bands on the inside and outside of a crater rim that may be terraces. Are they paired topographically?

HiPOD: Colorful Impact

Our enhanced image reveals colors ranging from red to green to blue. These are infra-red shifted colors (infrared-red-blue) so it’s different than what we would see with our eyes.

HiRISE 3D: A Buffet of Secondary Craters

This observation is part of a study that aims to characterize how secondary crater shape depends on distance from source craters and hence impact velocity.

HiPOD: Seasonal Flows in the Central Mountains of Hale Crater

The recurring slope lineae in Hale have an unusually “reddish” color compared to most RSL, perhaps due to oxidized iron compounds, like rust.

Seeing layering is always exciting to geologists because it implies that the region has experienced multiple climatic conditions or geologic processes through time.

The jumbled chaos terrain is likely related to the massive water-carved outflow channels that started in this area and flowed onto the northern plains.

The weak boundaries of the polygonal structure of the surface have been eroded by spring sublimation of carbon dioxide as energy from the Sun turns ice to gas.
