The formation of gullies on Mars: A study by laboratory simulation methods.

摘要

This thesis is about the presence of water on Mars, and the physical changes that water is working on the surface. Experiments were done in a laboratory setting that reliably produced gullies that showed certain morphological similarities to the gullies being found on the martian surface. The lab-produced gullies had quantifiable parameters that can be measured. Measurements from such gullies can be used to determine some of the conditions the martian gullies are formed in.
