• W2010457987 abstract "We have identified a number of gullies that could be aqueous in origin near or at the rim of several impact craters in Utopia Planitia and western Elysium Planitia (30.0°–59.0° N; 241.0°–291.0° W). Based on the sharpness of their incisions and the general absence of superposed craters, we ascribe a relatively recent origin to the gullies. Scalloped depressions are commonplace throughout the region, as well as on the crater walls, rims and floors near the areas of gully issuance. Occasionally, the depressions cross-cut the gully debris-aprons, suggesting that the formation of some depressions is even more recent than that of the gullies. Previous research has proposed that the depressions are collapse basins formed by thermokarst processes. On Earth, thermokarst landforms occur in areas of low gradient topography where the permanently frozen ground (permafrost) is ice rich and has undergone a change in thermal equilibrium. This change can be triggered by long-term or episodic/cyclic climate change and accompanying rises in mean temperatures towards ∼0 °C as well as by rises in seasonally sustained summer temperatures well above ∼0 °C. In order to explain the origin of the rim or near-rim gullies we invoke high obliquity and the possibility that this region of Mars experienced obliquity-driven rises in temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity sufficient to keep surface water and near-surface ground-ice stable for extended periods of time. We propose that gully formation is closely related to local freeze–thaw processes that, in turn, generate a thermokarst landscape (of which the gullies are a part). This geological and climatological scenario comprises the following steps: An inundation of meltwater at high obliquity (due to the thawing of an atmospherically-deposited snowpack or ice-sheet) and the subsequent saturation of the underlying regolith to tens of metres of depth. Loss of water on the surface, perhaps as obliquity decreases slightly, followed by the progressive freezing of the saturated regolith; this creates an aggrading mass of ice-rich regolith. Obliquity-induced temperature rises that engender the thaw, drainage and partial evaporation of the near-surface, ice-rich regolith. Localised formation of thermokarst collapse-basins (alases), as water is evacuated from these basins. Formation of gullies near, or at, some impact-crater rims as the result of meltwater migration from nearby alases through the thawed regolith to the areas of gully issuance. Although the plains' materials in this region are in part very old (possibly Hesperian or even Noachian), the mantling deposits and their deformation by thermokarst processes appears to be relatively young. This suggests that recent climatic conditions could have been episodically warmer and wetter than had been previously thought." @default.
