o Recurring Slope Lineae in Juventae Chasma

  Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are best explained as due to 
  seasonal seeping of water on steep slopes in warm seasons.

o Seeing Beneath the Surface in Morava Valles	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038798_1665

  Morava Valles is a small outflow channel in the Margaritifer 
  Sinus region of Mars.

o Frosted Gullies in a Central Pit

  Carbon dioxide frost covers much of the region and helps to 
  reveal subtle textures in the landscape.

o Inverted Ridges in the Eridania Basin

  The ridges display a branched pattern and may have once been 
  connected to a larger channel.
