Martian valley networks bear some resemblance to terrestrial drainage systems, but their
precise origin remains an active research topic. A limited number of valley networks have …

We have developed a novel method for delineating valley networks on Mars. The valleys are
inferred from digital topography by an autonomous computer algorithm as drainage …

A novel, automated technique for delineating Martian valley networks from digital terrain
data is applied to the Mare Tyrrhenum quadrangle on Mars, yielding a detailed map for the …

We propose a numerical method for classification and characterization of landforms on
Mars. The method provides an alternative to manual geomorphic mapping of the Martian …

The presence of valley networks (VN) on Mars suggests that early Mars was warmer and
wetter than present. However, detailed geomorphic analyses of individual networks have not …

We compare morphologies of drainage basins on Mars and Earth in order to confine the
formation process of Martian valley networks. Basins on both planets are computationally …

Earlier analyses of valley networks on Mars often concluded that they were poorly
integrated, immature drainage systems. Consequently, surface runoff from precipitation was …

This paper employs a circularity function to quantify the internal morphology of Martian
watershed basins in Margaritifer Sinus region and to infer the primary erosional processes …

Martian valley networks have been identified mainly in the Noachian heavily cratered
uplands. The geometry of valley networks can be studied using Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter …

An alternative approach to conventional planetary terrain analysis is proposed. Martian
terrains, represented by topography based on the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimetry (MOLA) data …
