River Delta Deposits In Aeolis Dorsa On Mars

Branching deposits in this area have been shown to be consistent with river deltas. Measurements of channel-belt width and thicknesses of river deltas on Earth point to relationships between width, thickness, and backwater hydrodynamics.

Here, we would like to make similar measurements of the delta deposits in the Aeolis Dorsa region.
