Paleotectonism in the Noachis-Sabaea region, Southern Highlands of Mars; Preliminary Modelling and Reconstruction of Events
Abstract
Paleotectonism of Mars has been investigated at global to local scales [1], with particular focus on Tharsis and its components [1], [2]. Such examples include the southern and eastern margins of the Thaumasia plateau, namely the Thaumasia highlands and Coprates rise mountain ranges respectively [3], and structurally-controlled basins and associated highly -degraded massifs that are interpreted to be volcanoes such as in the extremely ancient provinces like Terra Sirenum [4] and Terra Cimmeria [5].
