We measured sand sizes and shapes on diverse eolian bedforms in Gale crater to help
constrain models of eolian sediment transport on Mars. All grains are subangular to rounded …

Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity visited two active wind‐blown sand
dunes within Gale crater, Mars, which provided the first ground‐based opportunity to …

Mars hosts three scales of superimposed aeolian bedforms: small decimeter‐scale impact
ripples, large meter‐scale ripples, and dunes. The formation mechanism for large meter …

The discovery of remarkably rounded pebbles by the rover Curiosity, within an exhumed
alluvial fan complex in Gale Crater, presents some of the most compelling evidence yet for …

Orbiter‐based observations have demonstrated that active aeolian environments are
ubiquitous across Mars. Here we examine one such environment, the Bagnold Dune Field in …

The ripple field known as “El Dorado” was a unique stop on Spirit's traverse where dust‐
raising, active mafic sand ripples and larger inactive coarse‐grained ripples interact …

This paper characterizes the detailed sedimentology of a fluvial sandbody on Mars for the
first time and interprets its depositional processes and palaeoenvironmental setting. Despite …

Abstract During Martian solar days 57–100, the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover
acquired and processed a solid (sediment) sample and analyzed its mineralogy and …

Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover spent a full martian year exploring the
phyllosilicate‐bearing Glen Torridon trough on the flank of Aeolis Mons in Gale crater …

A simple granular flow model is used to investigate some of the conditions under which
ejecta may flow as a granular media. The purpose of this investigation is to provide some …
