Large-Scale and Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations on Mars: A Review

“…In particular, on the basis of detailed geomorphological analyses, some authors hypothesized ancient vast glaciation existed in Valles Marineris during the late Noachian to early Hesperian [61], which would have led (among other things) to the development of the numerous DSGSDs observable today (Figure 9). Some others are against the hypothesis of such vast glaciation in this region of Mars [103] and, while not directly analyzing these phenomena in detail, underline that their formation is not necessarily connected to post-glacial debuttressing.…”
