Fault Populations on Alba Mons, Mars, and their Age Relationships to Volcanic, Fluvial, and Glacial Processes

Kurzfassung

We map the cross-cutting relationships between faults, valley networks, and (volcanic) flows on Alba Mons to infer the temporal sequences of the major processes that influenced the area. Preliminary mapping on the northwestern flank suggests that lava flows predate the valley networks, and the faults postdate both the flows and the fluvial valleys. We also mapped individual fault segments for future quantitative fault population analysis.
