HiPOD (3 December 2018): Delta-Like Lobes in Aeolis Dorsa

   – Branching fluvial deposits appear similar to others at Aeolis Dorsa which have been interpreted as delta-like. With HiRISE images and elevation models we would be able to measure deposit thicknesses more accurately. Observations like these may suggest that Aeolis Dorsa is a paleo-coastal region that may be an important site for exploration in the future. (Alt: 292 km. Black and white is less than 5 km across; enhanced color is less than 1 km.)
