Fluvial Volumes, Timescales, and Intermittency in Milna Crater, Mars

Abstract: Ancient lake deposits and valley networks on Mars provide strong evidence that its surface was once modified by liquid water, but the extent of that modification is still debated. Ancient lacustrine deposits in Milna Crater provide insight into the timescale and fluid volume required to construct fluvially derived sedimentary deposits near the Noachian-Hesperian boundary. Placing the lacustrine deposits their regional context in ParanĂ¡ Valles provides a quantitative measurement of the intermi…
