Remote sensing survey of Valles Marineris: insights into magmatic and sedimentary processes on Mars
Speaker: Jessica Flahaut, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam Abstract: Valles Marineris is a unique vertical section through the uppermost kilometers of the martian crust; its location, east of Tharsis bulge, and its waterrelated history are responsible for a great diversity of rock types in this area. High resolution morphological (HiRISE) and mineralogical (CRISM) data from the MRO mission (NASA, 2006) available over the area were investigated. The walls of the canyons, the surrounding plateaus as well as t
