The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) was used to measure the topography of several putative near-polar martian volcanic craterforms. We believe they were formed by effusive lava shield building eruptions and were not hydromagmatic events, as previously suggested. Furthermore, these craterforms ap
Plains in the southeastern Elysium region of Mars are identified as Upper Amazonian (200-500 Ma) resulting from flood eruptions of low-viscosity lavas. About \(10^{5} \mathbf{k m}^{3}\) of lava were erupted and would have released large quantities of volatiles into the Martian environment. Assuming
Athabasca and Marte Valles lie on the Cerberus plains, between the young, lava-covered plains of Elysium Planitia and Amazonis Planitia. To test pre-MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) suggestions of extremely young volcanic and fluvial activity, we present the first crater counts from MGS imagery, at resolu
