Crater Gradation in Gusev Crater, Meridiani Planum, and on the EarthThe Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity have examined multiple impact craters since landing in Gusev Crater (14.569 deg. S, 175.473 deg. E) and Meridiani Planum (1.946 deg. S, 354.473 deg. E), respectively. Craters at both locations are in varying states of preservation and comparison between their evolved gradation signatures and those around simple, unglaciated terrestrial craters provide clues to the processes and amount of Martian crater modification.
