Fluvial Erosion in Harmakhis Vallis

Fluvial Erosion in Harmakhis Vallis

Fluvial Erosion in Harmakhis Vallis
This observation was requested by a Mars class to examine fluvial processes in one of the large channels leading into Harmakhis Vallis. The requested image is in a corner pointing opposite of the flow, possibly creating an eddy/turbulent area. The goal is to get a high resolution look for shoreline markings and erosion effects. Harmakhis Vallis probably formed by a combination of surface collapse and flowing water.
