Journal Article
Roelofs, L., Conway, S. J., van Dam, B., van Eijk, A., Merrison, J. P., Iversen, J. J., …de Haas, T. (2024). The Dynamics of CO 2 ‐Driven Granular Flows in Gullies on Mars. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 129(6), Article e2024JE008319. https://doi.org/10.1029/2024je008319

Martian gullies are landforms consisting of an erosional alcove, a channel, and a depositional apron. A significant proportion of Martian gullies at the mid‐latitudes is active today. The seasonal sublimation of CO2 ice has been suggested as a driver... Read More about The Dynamics of CO 2 ‐Driven Granular Flows in Gullies on Mars.

How, when and where current mass flows in Martian gullies are driven by CO2 sublimation (2024)
Journal Article
Roelofs, L., Conway, S. J., de Haas, T., Dundas, C., Lewis, S. R., McElwaine, J., …Patel, M. R. (2024). How, when and where current mass flows in Martian gullies are driven by CO2 sublimation. Communications Earth & Environment, 5(1), Article 125. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01298-7

Martian gullies resemble water-carved gullies on Earth, yet their present-day activity cannot be explained by water-driven processes. The sublimation of CO2 has been proposed as an alternative driver for sediment transport, but how this mechanism wor...
