TL;DR: Observations of Mercury’s high northern latitudes reveal a contiguous area of volcanic smooth plains covering more than 6% of the surface that were emplaced in a flood lava mode, consistent with average crustal compositions broadly similar to terrestrial komatiites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Martian gullies in the southern mid-latitudes of Mars: Evidence for climate-controlled formation of young fluvial features based upon local and global topography
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) narrow-angle images of gullies in the 30°-45° S latitude band includes their distribution, morphology, local topographic setting, orientation, elevation, and slopes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern mid-latitude glaciation in the Late Amazonian period of Mars: Criteria for the recognition of debris-covered glacier and valley glacier landsystem deposits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution stereo camera images and topography data to assess the characteristics of LDA/LVF in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars and found evidence that the characteristics and flow patterns of the LDA and LVF are most consistent with Late Amazonian debris-covered glacial valley landsystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanism on Mercury: Evidence from the first MESSENGER flyby for extrusive and explosive activity and the volcanic origin of plains
James W. Head,Scott L. Murchie,Louise M. Prockter,Sean C. Solomon,Clark R. Chapman,Robert G. Strom,Thomas R. Watters,David T. Blewett,Jeffrey J. Gillis-Davis,Caleb I. Fassett,James L. Dickson,Gareth A. Morgan,Laura Kerber +12 more
TL;DR: The first MESSENGER flyby of Mercury obtained images of 21% of the surface not seen by Mariner 10, including the center and western half of the Caloris basin and regions near the terminator that show details of the nature of smooth and intercrater plains as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Amazonian glaciation at the dichotomy boundary on Mars: Evidence for glacial thickness maxima and multiple glacial phases
TL;DR: In this article, a lineated valley fill (LVF) in fretted valleys at the dichotomy boundary has been interpreted as glacial in origin and the original thickness of the glacier ice, the amount of ice-surface lowering, through sublimation and retreat, to its presently observed level, and whether there were multiple periods of glaciation.
