Pacing Early Mars fluvial activity at Aeolis Dorsa: Implications for Mars Science Laboratory observations at Gale Crater and Aeolis Mons
Edwin S. Kite, Antoine Lucas, Caleb I. Fassett
The impactor flux early in Mars history was much higher than today, so sedimentary sequences include many buried craters. In combination with models for the impactor flux, observat…
Seasonal melting and the formation of sedimentary rocks on Mars, with predictions for the Gale Crater mound
Edwin S. Kite, Itay Halevy, Melinda A. Kahre +2
A model for the formation and distribution of sedimentary rocks on Mars is proposed. The rate-limiting step is supply of liquid water from seasonal melting of snow or ice. The mode…
Growth and form of the mound in Gale Crater, Mars: Slope-wind enhanced erosion and transport
Edwin S. Kite, Kevin W. Lewis, Michael P. Lamb
Ancient sediments provide archives of climate and habitability on Mars. Gale Crater, the landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), hosts a 5 km high sedimentary mound. Hy…
