Gullies in Bloom -HiRISE Science Team

salty water gullies

https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_022472_1285

This observation shows mid-latitude-type gullies and dark and light materials. There are dunes in this crater as well (east of the gully aprons). One of the more stunning features is the gully formation right outside the center swath of the full image.

At HiRISE resolution, we can examine whether there has been activity in the gullies that post-dates the placement of windblown materials, like boulders down the slopes. We can also gather information to help determine the processes responsible for gully formation.

This caption is based on the original science rationale.

Overwhelming similarities between microorganism created sinkholes and Martian "craters"

a) it appears that microorganisms create sinkholes like those located in a warming Siberia

b) it is obvious that the same or similar action is taking place on Mars

c) many or most of the "craters" on Mars are volcanic calderas and microorganism created sinkholes
