EAPS research scientist Gregory Neumann teamed up with Paul Withers, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, to produce high-resolution shaded relief maps of the northern plains of Mars from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). The maps show that the plains display wrinkle ridges, which are formed by stresses associated with the volcanic Tharsis Rise, shown above. The researchers noti...
