Hydrological History of a Palaeolake and Valley System on the Planetary Dichotomy in Arabia Terra, Mars

Abstract

A detailed local study of a system of seven previously unknown palaeolakes near the dichotomy in western Arabia Terra, Mars • High resolution topographic data aids in identification and characterization of palaeolakes and regional hydrological history • Evidence for a prolonged history of fluvial and lacustrine processes, with palaeolakes fed by groundwater and surface accumulation
