Active Dune Monitoring in Meridiani Planum

Active Dune Monitoring in Meridiani Planum

Dunes of Meridiani Planum
This observation shows really nice, well-spaced barchan and dome dunes that were visible in a 2008 image. In 2014, we detected changes with another picture of the same area. With a stereo pair and a digital terrain model, we can better quantify the sand flux.
