“…There still is uncertainty about the exact mechanism of formation of these landforms. The pseudo-craters are now categorised as rootless cones and both igneous and mud volcano hypotheses have been proposed for their formation (Czechowski et al, 2020; Dapremont and Wray, 2021). Similarly, the pedestal craters, even today, are believed to be a result of presence of ice-rich layers during their formation, when the ejecta formed an erosion-resistant layer shielding the surroundings (Kenkmann and Wulf, 2018).…”

Our understanding of the Martian atmosphere, terrain and subsurface has continuously evolved over the past couple of decades as a result of a number of successful orbiter and rover missions. This prompts a need to revisit the first holistic review of Martian geomorphology, based on images from the Viking orbiters, by Victor R. Baker in 1981. Several of the interpretations and recommendations based on remote sensing in Baker’s paper are as valid today as they were four decades ago. With an unprecedented focus on Mars exploration in the coming decades, it is important to revisit the advances and prospects in Martian geomorphology research.
