Abstract:Outflow channels are prevalent on the surface of Mars, and they are one of the strongest lines of evidence for fluvial activity. The purported presence of some of the channel networks on the Amazonian surface provides evidence for recent surficial fluvial activity. We describe morphological evidence collectively diagnostic of fluvial origin for the channels located northwest (NW) of Jovis Tholus, within the Tharsis volcanic province. The fluvial relationships are deciphered from (1) morphological analysis of c… Show more
