Exposed subsurface ice sheets in the Martian mid-latitudes

CM Dundas, AM Bramson, L Ojha, JJ Wray, MT Mellon… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Thick deposits cover broad regions of the Martian mid-latitudes with a smooth mantle;
erosion in these regions creates scarps that expose the internal structure of the mantle. We …

Active Mars: A dynamic world

CM Dundas, P Becerra, S Byrne… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Mars exhibits diverse surface changes at all latitudes and all seasons. Active processes
include impact cratering, aeolian sand and dust transport, a variety of slope processes …

Martian gullies: A comprehensive review of observations, mechanisms and insights from Earth analogues

SJ Conway, T de Haas, TN Harrison - Geological Society, London …, 2019 - lyellcollection.org
Upon their discovery in 2000, Martian gullies were hailed as the first proof of recent (ie less
than a few million years) flowing liquid water on the surface of a dry desert planet. Many …

Widespread exposures of extensive clean shallow ice in the midlatitudes of Mars

CM Dundas, MT Mellon, SJ Conway… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Although ice in the Martian midlatitudes is typically covered by a layer of dust or regolith, it is
exposed in some locations by fresh impact craters or in erosional scarps. In both cases, the …

The formation of gullies on Mars today

CM Dundas, AS McEwen, S Diniega… - Geological Society …, 2019 - lyellcollection.org
A decade of high-resolution monitoring has revealed extensive activity in fresh Martian
gullies. Flows within the gullies are diverse: they can be relatively light, neutral or dark …

Formation of gullies on Mars by debris flows triggered by CO2 sublimation

C Pilorget, F Forget - Nature Geoscience, 2016 - nature.com
Martian gully landforms resemble terrestrial debris flows formed by the action of liquid water
and have thus been interpreted as evidence for potential habitable environments on Mars …

The impact of ground-ice thaw on landslide geomorphology and dynamics: two case studies in northern Iceland

C Morino, SJ Conway, MR Balme, JK Helgason… - Landslides, 2021 - Springer
As consequence of ongoing climate change, permafrost degradation is thought to be
increasingly affecting slope stability in periglacial environments. This is of growing concern …

Martian subsurface cryosalt expansion and collapse as trigger for landslides

JL Bishop, M Yeşilbaş, NW Hinman, ZFM Burton… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
On Mars, seasonal martian flow features known as recurring slope lineae (RSL) are
prevalent on sun-facing slopes and are associated with salts. On Earth, subsurface …

Recent basal melting of a mid‐latitude glacier on Mars

FEG Butcher, MR Balme, C Gallagher… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Evidence for past basal melting of young (late Amazonian‐aged), debris‐covered glaciers in
Mars' mid‐latitudes is extremely rare. Thus, it is widely thought that these viscous flow …

Evidence for thermal-stress-induced rockfalls on Mars impact crater slopes

PA Tesson, SJ Conway, N Mangold, J Ciazela… - Icarus, 2020 - Elsevier
Here we study rocks falling from exposed outcrops of bedrock, which have left tracks on the
slope over which they have bounced and/or rolled, in fresh impact craters (1–10 km in …
