Floor-fractured craters on Mars–Observations and origin

M Bamberg, R Jaumann, H Asche, T Kneissl… - Planetary and Space …, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Floor-Fractured Craters (FFCs) represent an impact crater type, where the infilling is

Compaction and sedimentary basin analysis on Mars

LR Gabasova, ES Kite - Planetary and Space Science, 2018 - Elsevier
Many of the sedimentary basins of Mars show patterns of faults and off-horizontal layers that,
if correctly understood, could serve as a key to basin history. Sediment compaction is a …

Utility of laser altimeter and stereoscopic terrain models: Application to Martian craters

SJ Robbins, BM Hynek - Planetary and Space Science, 2013 - Elsevier
The use of numerical datasets of the same type derived from remote sensing instruments is

Evidence for an explosive origin of central pit craters on Mars

NR Williams, JF Bell III, PR Christensen, JD Farmer - Icarus, 2015 - Elsevier
Kilometer-scale pits are nested in the centers of many impact craters on Mars as well as on
