Glacial and gully erosion on Mars: A terrestrial perspective

SJ Conway, FEG Butcher, T de Haas, AAJ Deijns… - Geomorphology, 2018 - Elsevier

High ice purity of Martian lobate debris aprons at the regional scale: evidence from an orbital radar sounding survey in Deuteronilus and Protonilus Mensae

EI Petersen, JW Holt, JS Levy - Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 - Wiley Online Library

Recent basal melting of a mid‐latitude glacier on Mars

FEG Butcher, MR Balme, C Gallagher… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Evidence for past basal melting of young (late Amazonian‐aged), debris‐covered glaciers in
Mars' mid‐latitudes is extremely rare. Thus, it is widely thought that these viscous flow …
