Hydrological History of a Palaeolake and Valley System on the Planetary Dichotomy in Arabia Terra, Mars
Z. I. Dickeson, P. M. Grindrod, J. M. Davis, I. Crawford, M. Balme
Evidence for hundreds of ancient lakes has been found on Mars, and they reocrd a history of liquid water and habitable environments on Mars. In this work we describe a newly discovered system of ancient lakes and river valleys which end at the boundary between the southern highlands and northern lowlands. Using high-resolution imagery, and high-resolution topographic maps allowed identification of multiple past water levels within each lake. We reconstructed a history of lake filling, drainage, and eventual decline and disappearance. Revealing that drainage through the system was sustained over a prolonged period.
