HiPOD: Week of 9 March 2026

	Slope Streakin’ This image shows many slope streaks of various orientations at fairly high latitude (for slope streaks). Our goal is to monitor for seasonality and directionality of streak formation. We also want to look for fine topographical changes. As the streaks are dark, we can also be on the lookout for winter frost.
	An Atypical Cone in Claritas Fossae This image captures an atypical conical formation associated with flow-like features. The shape of the cone suggests that there was a larger cone whose summit area was destroyed and a newer smaller cone formed inside this crater-like area. This observation can help to reveal further details about the shape of the cone and the flows as well.
	Overlapping Landslides in Margaritifer Terra From HiWish: There are multiple overlapping landslides in this crater. This crater is deformed by a large lobate scarp, from which these landslides appear to originate. Studying these landslides and dating them will help better understand the tectonic history of the region, and might provide insights into erosion rates in this area.
