  Nili Patera is a region on Mars in which dunes and ripples are 
  moving rapidly.

  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037070_1985

  Oxia Planum is broad clay-bearing surface between Mawrth and Ares 
  Vallis that has been proposed as a future landing site.

o Bright Slope Streaks in Arabia Terra

  Slope streak formation is among the few known processes currently 
  active on Mars. The cause of the streaks is still debated.

o Dome and Barchan Dunes in Newton Crater

  Barchan dunes form by unidirectional winds and are good indicators 
  of the dominant wind direction.
