HiPOD 18 Aug 23: Chaos in Chryse
Our science goal for this observation is to document stratigraphic relationships between chaos blocks and adjacent geologic units. With a stereo pair, we can create a digital terrain model to interpret superposition relationships in this scene. The general shape of “chaotic terrain” is steep-sided mesas in close proximity. In planetary nomenclature, the descriptor term “chaos” means “distinctive area of broken terrain.”
