Description
Recent and episodic volcanic and glacial activity on Mars revealed by the High Resolution Stereo Camera
The large-area coverage at a resolution of 10–20 meters per pixel in colour
and three dimensions with the High Resolution Stereo Camera Experiment
on the European Space Agency Mars Express Mission has made it possible
to study the time-stratigraphic relationships of volcanic and glacial structures
in unprecedented detail and give insight into the geological evolution of Mars.
Here we show that calderas on five major volcanoes on Mars have undergone
repeated activation and resurfacing during the last 20 per cent of martian history,
with phases of activity as young as two million years, suggesting that the
volcanoes are potentially still active today. Glacial deposits at the base of the
Olympus Mons escarpment show evidence for repeated phases of activity as
recently as about four million years ago.
Morphological evidence is found that snow and ice deposition on the Olympus
construct at elevations of more than 7,000 metres led to episodes of glacial
activity at this height. Even now, water ice protected by an insulating layer of
dust may be present at high altitudes on Olympus Mons.
