Proposes that Martian gullies are carved by mud flows rather than by water.

I find the patterns viewable in the HiRISE image, ESP_01444_0935 so important as to make a topic on the image, and study the patterns as they are possibly related to active fans in the south polar ice layered terrain of Mars.
These images are enlarged at least to 4x, or larger, and the fluted marked circular cones or mounds, are steep, the most elevated of the features seen at the crest of the small ridge, and below the central lowest blue square are two pits which appear to be depressed fluted elongate general circular features related to the raised cones.
Is there a person with some experience in resolving the processes and sunlight activity relationship in these details?
Are these a CO2 related core of other larger circular mounds we see in the polar regions?
Are these a type of active fan which does not show the dark fan characteristics when active?
Are these seen in the other regions of Mars?
.
.
The pits are not deep, but are recessed below the common ground elevation at each, and appear to have some amount of fluting to the relatively even sloped sides.
The marked mounds or cones, have well defined fluted sides to the slopes, and are the items of greatest elevation in the scene. Even the sunlit bright cone has not declined in stature in appearance, although it is next to the two pits. What activity would be present other than ice lodes subliming to the atmosphere in this cold scene?
Are these layered features the product of deposition of ice and dust? Can the ice repeatedly erode the layers, altering the terrain, while not affecting the entire scene in elevation reduction? Is this a current and ongoing active geology erosion alteration process of both buildup and erosion during each season? The longer fluted or layered patterns are overlain by a multiple overlapping of patterns which are containing these cones and pits. Which is the longer surviving patterns, the larger overview, or, the mounds with bright peaks?

It has been written by Serpens that the rock Spirit is hung up on is wedge shaped, not pointed. I went back to about Sol 1860 and tried to find what rock Spirit is stuck on. My eyes are burning now from strain. If Serpens is correct about the wedge shape, and not a pointed rock, where did the information come from? I'd love to see the rock in an image taken before we got stuck. Think we could find it hiding in those images around Sol 1860?
posted by John at 12:24 AM EDT | Discussion (4) | TrackBack (0)Not far in the future, we will be exploring various planets and moons with less encumbrance and more autonomy than the current generation MER and MSL wheeled 'carts'. A robot society could fulfill much of the cataloging required.
Small or large devices may give us planetary video exploration daily for public spectacles equal to the best Earth based programs.
I have a general question about the wind on Mars. There has been much talk about wind erosion and ripples and dunes caused by wind.
Since the air pressure on Mars is only 1/100th of that on Earth, it would seem that it would take an enormous wind to move a grain of sand. Does anyone know what the wind speeds are like? We have seen dust devils, and "red outs" that stir things up pretty good.

posted by Stan at 3:53 AM EDT | Discussion (21) | TrackBack (0)HiRISE ESP_011844_1855 is quite an interesting observation featering a portion of southwest Arabia Terra (one of the areas with regional methane and water vapor concentrations). The lower plains showing some nice small scale fresh rampart craters suggesting ice or even mud very near the surface. Also there seems to be some horizontal flow like features in the second cutout among another rampart crater.

Maybe this observation is worth a closer inspection

A new topic of research, from the last quarter of the twentieth century, with slow development to possible practical applications in instrumentation, both on Earth, and in robotic and manned spaceflight equipment.
A general account of energy re-direction to a novel and currently unused path. Lots of general imagined uses for the current century science community. We may be cooking and looking with devices built from related concept materials. We may also be computing with them soon.
A scientific American alert link for your sourcing of the real research by a few of the researchers listed and linked.
Can these concepts apply to activity on Mars by materials found there?
