Geological characteristics of China's Tianwen-1 landing site at Utopia Planitia, Mars

Icarus, 2021
Abstract China's first Mars mission Tianwen-1 successfully touched down the surface of the southern Utopia Planitia on 15th May 2021. In this study we investigate the geological characteristics of the target landing site (Site 1) and a backup landing site (Site 2) on Utopia Planitia for Tianwen-1 Mission.

Intra-crater glacial processes in central Utopia Planitia, Mars

Icarus, 2011
Abstract We describe and interpret a series of previously unidentified glacial-like lobes (34–43°N; 107–125°E) that were discovered as part of a survey of large ( D  > 5 km) impact craters in Utopia Planitia, one of the great northern plains of Mars. The lobes have characteristics that are consistent with a glacial origin.

Co-evolution of polygonal and scalloped terrains, southwestern Utopia Planitia, Mars

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2014
Abstract Thermal contraction crack polygons and scalloped depressions, two of the most common landforms found in Utopia Planitia, Mars, have previously been linked to the presence of ice-rich deposits in the subsurface. Although the formation and evolution of these features individually are relatively well understood, little to no effort has been ...

Evidence of an eolian ice-rich and stratified permafrost in Utopia Planitia, Mars

Planetary and Space Science, 2012
Abstract Western Utopia Planitia (UP) is dotted with scalloped depressions, small-sized polygons and pingo-like mounds. Within the planetary science community, there seems to be a general agreement that these relatively recent landscape features are indicative of an ice-rich permafrost.
