Inverted Martian Craters in Lineated Glacial Valleys, Ismenius Lacus Region, MarsWe studied small, uniquely-shaped craters found on the surface of lineated terrain in the Ismenius Lacus region of Mars. By utilizing MOC and THEMIS satellite images, we located terrain including lineations (viscous flow features), smoothing of topography, and morphologic features such as polygons and gullies, which appear to be strong evidence of preexisting ice deposits.
