CRISM imaging of gullies.

Robert Clark — 12/24/2006 7:48:13 PM (archived)

This just released CRISM image taken in November during the local winter shows water frost in an area containing gullies.
This does not prove of course that melting frost or snow caused the gullies. Also would be needed are images during spring when the frost has evaporated showing new gullies.

  - Why couldn't it be snow avalanches, ala Christensen? (n/t) - Robert Clark - 11/25/2006 1:09:21 PM
    - Because the Snow on Mars is CO2, not H2O - nick hoffman - 11/26/2006 4:45:56 AM
      - Christensen specifically used this gully system as evidence for his theory - Robert Clark - 11/26/2006 2:54:58 PM

        Might provide an automated way to seach for new gullies. - Robert Clark - 12/27/2006 3:04:26 PM
