HiPOD 11 May 2023: To Survey a Ridge

Studying unmapped ridges across Mars can help us determine the depositional setting of these formations. Identifying these types of fluvial ridges outside of craters is key for reconstructing ancient sedimentary basins. Channel deposits in basins are one of the key elements used to constrain ancient climate, water discharge, and base-level changes.
