Identifying these types of (possible) fluvial ridges outside of craters is key for reconstructing ancient sedimentary basins, and channel deposits in basins are one of the key elements used to constrain ancient climate and water discharge. This is part of a study to use the best possible topographic data to test for a fluvial origin of the ridge,
