The Stimson formation at the Greenheugh pediment: stratigraphy, architecture, and correlation
Résumé
The Stimson formation, Gale crater represents the preserved expression of a major dune field which coalesced on the eroded flank of Mount Sharp [1-3]. This unit, which records spatial and temporal relations between interacting dunes can be used to gain insight into aeolian processes, interactions, and dune field construction processes on other planetary bodies. Here, the current understanding (as of spring 2022) of the Stimson formation at the Greenheugh pediment is summarized.
