Evidence for pervasive mud volcanism in Acidalia Planitia, Mars
DZ Oehler, CC Allen - Icarus, 2010 - Elsevier
We have mapped 18,000+ circular mounds in a portion of southern Acidalia Planitia using
their sizes, shapes, and responses in Nighttime IR. We estimate that 40,000+ of these …

Aeolian dunes as evidence for explosive volcanism in the Tharsis region of Mars
KS Edgett - Icarus, 1997 - Elsevier
Two transverse dune fields occur among Late Amazonian volcanic and aeolian landforms in
southwestern Tharsis, Mars. The first is located∼ 70 km northwest of Biblis Patera, around …

Major episodes of geologic history of Isidis Planitia on Mars
MA Ivanov, H Hiesinger, G Erkeling, FJ Hielscher… - Icarus, 2012 - Elsevier
We have mapped the area of Isidis Planitia (1–27° N, 75–103° E) in order to assess the
geologic history of this region using modern data sets such as MOLA topography and the …

Aqueous flows carved the outflow channels on Mars
NM Coleman - Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The role of water in carving the Martian outflow channels has recently been challenged by
the hypothesis known as “White Mars.” This hypothesis claims that the channels were cut by …

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter observations of light-toned layered deposits and associated fluvial landforms on the plateaus adjacent to Valles Marineris
CM Weitz, RE Milliken, JA Grant, AS McEwen… - Icarus, 2010 - Elsevier
We have used data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to study 30–80m thick light-toned
layered deposits on the plateaus adjacent to Valles Marineris at five locations:(1) south of …

Giant polygons and mounds in the lowlands of Mars: signatures of an ancient ocean?
DZ Oehler, CC Allen - Astrobiology, 2012 - liebertpub.com
This paper presents the hypothesis that the well-known giant polygons and bright mounds of
the martian lowlands may be related to a common process—a process of fluid expulsion that …

Recent fluvial, volcanic, and tectonic activity on the Cerberus plains of Mars
DC Berman, WK Hartmann - Icarus, 2002 - Elsevier
Athabasca and Marte Valles lie on the Cerberus plains, between the young, lava-covered
plains of Elysium Planitia and Amazonis Planitia. To test pre-MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) …

Small edifice features in Chryse Planitia, Mars: assessment of a mud volcano hypothesis
Small edifice features that are less than a few kilometers in diameter and up to a few
hundred meters in height are widely distributed in Chryse Planitia on Mars. They exhibit a …

Mud volcanoes in the geologic record of Mars: The case of Firsoff crater
We report the detection of mound-like landforms interpreted as mud volcanoes within Firsoff
crater, in the Arabia Terra region of Mars. The mounds stratigraphically overlie layered …

Mineralogy of recent volcanic plains in the Tharsis region, Mars, and implications for platy-ridged flow composition
Volcanism on Mars occurred until recently, but the mineralogy of recent lava plains is poorly
known because few regions display fresh outcrops devoid of dust. Using visible and near …
