Aeolis Dorsa exhumed craters as constraints on paleoatmosphere and sedimentation

April 5, 2026HiRISE: Beautiful Mars (NASA)

HiRISE: Beautiful Mars explains how small ancient craters in Aeolis Dorsa can constrain Mars paleoatmospheric pressure and sediment accumulation rates, showing how imagery supports quantitative climate reconstruction.
