Are Slope Streaks Indicative of Global-Scale Aqueous Processes on Contemporary Mars?

Zorzano, María-Paz; Bhardwaj, Anshuman; Sam, Lydia +1 more

Slope streaks are prevalent and intriguing dark albedo surface features on contemporary Mars. Slope streaks are readily observed in the equatorial and subequatorial dusty regolith regions with low thermal inertia. They gradually fade over decadal timescales. The proposed mechanisms for their formation vary widely based on several physicochemical a…
