Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures (2024)
Journal Article
Edgar, J., Gould, J., Badreshany, K., Graham, S., & Telling, J. (2024). Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures. Icarus, 422, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116238

The aeolian transport of sand generates fine material through abrasion. On Mars this process occurs at lower temperatures than on Earth, however, there is minimal data on the effects of temperature on aeolian abrasion rates. Here, results are reporte...
