MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 18, 2014
o Sand Dune Catch and Release
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034084_1655
Sand dunes within within craters, raise the question: do they form
from sandy materials within the craters, or are they traps for dunes
traveling in their path?
o Waiting for Dust Devils
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036376_2160
Dust devils are identified in images both by their cloudy form and
the shadow their cloud casts on the surface.
o Moving Mass Material on a Mesa
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036382_2255
This observation appears to show some type of mass movement of material
down the wall of a mesa in Deuteronilus Mensae.
o Blockfall on the North Polar Layered Deposits
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036436_2645
The slope in this image is steep and fractured, and a large chunk of dusty
ice has tumbled down and broken apart.
