Zhurong reveals recent aqueous activities in Utopia Planitia, Mars. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2022
The Mars’ climate is cold and dry in the most recent epoch, and liquid water activities are considered extremely limited. Previous orbital data only show sporadic hydrous minerals in the northern lowlands of Mars excavated by large impacts.

Mud flows in southwestern Utopia Planitia, Mars

Icarus, 2022
Landforms with characteristic flow-like morphology are distributed across the southwestern portion of Utopia Planitia, Mars. Although some of the features have previously been interpreted as mud flows associated with a former presence of partly frozen ...

Ice-Enriched Loess and the Formation of Periglacial Terrain in Mid-Utopia Planitia, Mars [PDF]

, 2012
Landforms suggestive of periglacial processes are commonplace in mid-Utopia Planitia, Mars. They form syngenetically in ground-ice comprised of loess transported by katabatic wind from the NPLDs and enriched by ice through the thaw-freeze cycling of ...

Automated Mapping of Periglacial Landforms on Mars’ Utopia Planitia Using a Multi-Scale Texture-Enhanced U-Net

Sensors
Martian periglacial landforms are among the clearest surface clues for investigating ground-ice occurrence, climate evolution, and potential habitability on Mars.

Deposition and degradation of a volatile-rich layer in Utopia Planitia, and implications for climate history on Mars. [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2007
We investigate the surface morphology of a study area in western Utopia Planitia, Mars, which is characterized by a variety of landforms that resemble those of terrestrial periglacial landscapes.

Modeling and observational occurrences of near-surface drainage in Utopia Planitia, Mars

Geomorphology, 2016
International audienceDuring the past 15 years, evidence for an ice-rich planet Mars has rapidly mounted, become increasingly varied in terms of types of deposits and types of observational data, and has become more widespread across the surface. The mid-

Evidence for marine sedimentary rocks in Utopia Planitia: Zhurong rover observations. [PDF]

Natl Sci Rev, 2023
ABSTRACTDecades of research using remotely sensed data have extracted evidence for the presence of an ocean in the northern lowlands of Mars in the Hesperian (∼3.3 Ga), but these claims have remained controversial due to the lack of in situ analysis of the associated geologic unit, the Vastitas Borealis Formation (VBF).

Geomorphologic exploration targets at the Zhurong landing site in the southern Utopia Planitia of Mars

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021
On May 15, 2021, Tianwen-1's rover Zhurong landed successfully at 109.926°E, 25.066°N, in southern Utopia Planitia on Mars. The Zhurong landing site contains a wide range of geomorphic exploration targets including troughs, raised ridges, pitted cones ...

Localization and Surface Characterization by Zhurong Mars Rover at Utopia Planitia [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract China’s first Mars rover, Zhurong, has successfully touched down on the southern Utopia Planitia of Mars at 109.925° E, 25.066° N, and since performed cooperative multiscale investigations with the Tianwen-1 orbiter. Here we present primary localization and surface characterization results based on complementary data of the first 60 ...
