HiPOD 12 Jul 23: A Silica-Rich Deposit Northwest of Ariadnes Colles

CRISM spectra data indicate the presence of silica deposits in this region. The geologic context is key for determining the origin (whether wind-driven or bedrock) of these deposits, and their distribution with the crater. This could give insight into hydrothermal processes in Eridania Basin.
