River Delta Deposits In Aeolis Dorsa On Mars
ID: ESP_076995_1735 date: 29 December 2022 altitude: 265 km NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona larger image
Branching deposits in this area have been shown to be consistent with river deltas. Measurements of channel-belt width and thicknesses of river deltas on Earth point to relationships between width, thickness, and backwater hydrodynamics.
Here, we would like to make similar measurements of the delta deposits in the Aeolis Dorsa region.
