For more than four decades remote sensing images have been used to document and
understand the evolution of aeolian sand dunes. Early studies focused on mapping and …

With the advent of high resolution imaging, bedform motion can now be tracked on the
Martian surface. HiRISE data, with a pixel scale as fine as 25cm, shows displacements of …

Abstract Prior to Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter data, images of Mars showed no direct
evidence for dune and ripple motion. This was consistent with climate models and lander …

This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different
settings, and how they are being studied. Particular attention is paid to their formation and …

Abstract The NASA Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity, has safely landed near
a 35-km-long dark dune field in Gale Crater on Mars. This dune field crosses the landing site …

Although aeolian landforms are pervasive on Mars, evidence for contemporary activity has
been limited. The next major campaign for the Mars Exploration Rover “Opportunity” is the …

Abstract The Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD 3) is complete and now extends
from 90° N to 90° S latitude. The recently released south pole (SP) portion (MC-30) of MGD …

Wind on Mars is a significant agent of contemporary surface change, yet the absence of in
situ meteorological data hampers the understanding of surface–atmospheric interactions …

Dunes, dune fields, and ripples are unique and useful records of the interaction between
wind and granular materials–finding such features on a planetary surface immediately …

Martian chaos terrains are fractured depressions consisting of block landforms that are often
located in source areas of outflow channels. Numerous chaos and chaos-like features have …
