Scales of Martian Crustal Magnetization Constrained by MAVEN, InSight, and Zhurong
Abstract While Mars does not possess a currently active geodynamo, remanent crustal magnetization has been found across the planet and contains records of the origin, scale, and timing of Martian magnetization. The first in situ measurements of the Martian magnetic field on the planet's surface, at the InSight and Zhurong landing sites, allow for ...

Geology of the Terra Cimmeria-Utopia Planitia Highland Lowland Transitional Zone: Final Technical Approach and Scientific Results [PDF]
The southern Utopia highland-lowland transitional zone extends from northern Terra Cimmeria to southern Utopia Planitia and contains broad, bench-like platforms with depressions, pitted cones, tholi, and lobate flows. The locally occurring geologic units

Topography within circular grabens: Implications for polygon origin, Utopia Planitia, Mars
Very large, fracture‐bounded polygons occur in Acidalia and Utopia Planitiae, Mars. Two models for the origin of these large polygons postulate drape folding of a sedimentary cover material over an uneven buried surface, with the strain enhancement needed to explain the large size due to differential compaction.

Abstract The Martian surface, with its diverse landforms that reflect the planet's evolution, has attracted increasing scientific interest. While extensive data is needed for interpretation, identifying landform types is crucial. This semantic information reveals underlying features and patterns, offering valuable scientific insights.

Gridmapping the Northern Plains of Mars: A New Overview of Recent Water- and Ice-Related Landforms in Acidalia Planitia [PDF]
We used a grid-mapping technique to analyze the distribution of thirteen water- and ice-related landforms in Acidalia Planitia as part of a joint effort to study the three main basins in the northern lowlands of Mars, i.e.
