Abstract Mars has an extensive yet poorly understood cryosphere. Nevertheless, both direct and indirect evidence indicates buried ice across the midlatitudes, including locations where it is presently unstable. While much progress been made in exploring processes responsible for deposition preservation during recent climatic fluctuations, a global assessment of multiple reservoirs remains elusive. Motivated by science need to find suitable human landing sites, Subsurface Water Ice Mapping...
Abstract Heat flow estimates of terrestrial planets and icy satellites are important for exploring their thermal evolution. Topographic signatures flexure can be used to estimate the effective elastic lithospheric thickness, h e , heat flow. Here, we use high resolution stereo topography axisymmetric models investigate around Narina Tholus, a steep‐sided volcanic dome ∼40 km across that superposes tectonic annulus Aramaiti Corona. Our results indicate best‐fit thickness = 3.9–9.1 km, values...
We present a three-dimensional radargram of 13° x 11° region Deuteronilus Mensae, produced from 457 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Shallow Radar (SHARAD) observations. assess the viability 3D imaging algorithms developed to work with SHARAD observations in mid-latitude regions interest. The quality subsurface topographically complex is highly improved due proper positioning and mitigation off-nadir reflections resulting image. initial analysis debris-covered glaciers using radargrams has...
Abstract We explore the potential for repeat‐pass SAR Interferometry (InSAR) correlation to track volcanic activity on Venus' surface motivated by future missions Earth's sister planet. use Hawai'i as a natural laboratory test whether InSAR can detect lava flows assuming orbital and instrument parameters similar that of Venus mission. was chosen because are frequent, well documented United States Geological Survey, is supersite, where space agencies have offered open radar data sets...
