Meridiani Planum presents evidence of both ancient and modern active windblown bedforms. Assessing the activity of the active dark dunes in this area will be crucial for understanding the rate of Martian landscape evolution. Monitoring the activity of the dunes in this region will help to better characterize the landing environment from a geological and atmospheric point of view.
