Dune morphology, sand transport pathways and possible source areas in east Thaumasia Region (Mars)

Silvestro, S.; Di Achille, G.; Ori, G. G.

An aeolian system located in Aonia Terra (eastern Thaumasia region) consists of six dark dune fields. The dune pattern suggests an organized extended sand transport system, which is characterized by the presence of long sand corridors. The latter connects the different ergs with potential sources. The sand stored in the ergs is provided by layered…
