## Abstract The geology of Marion Island is typical of the oceanic volcanoes forming the Hawaiian archipelago, which is generally seen as an analogue for the geology on Mars. Because of the cold climate, the relatively young igneous rocks on Marion Island exhibit no visible alteration from the orig
Rock-strewn surfaces are apparently common on Mars, and radar backscatter data offer the most direct means for remotely estimating their statistical properties. This paper examines the height statistics of power-law and exponential rock size-frequency distributions, and demonstrates the dependence o
