Using Thermal Inertia and Short-Wave Infrared Spectroscopy to Characterize Lithified Bedforms on Mars
Abstract
Lithified bedforms, or paleobedforms, are all over Mars. They look like modern dunes, but have erosional features common to lithified rock. Yet, thermal inertia models show they are not well lithified, thus implying complex preservation histories.
