Mars aeolian sand: Regional variations among dark-hued crater floor features
Department of Geology, Arizona State University, Tempe
Department of Geology, Arizona State University, Tempe
Different regions on Mars appear to have low-albedo intracrater deposits that have distinct regional thermophysical and/or aeolian dune characteristics. Thermal inertia derived from a carefully selected set of Viking infrared thermal mapper observations of the dark features obtained in 1977–1978 supports this conclusion. The observed similarities and differences among dark intracrater features on Mars is probably a function of the combined influences of sand availability and regional wind conditions.
