MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 1, 2014

o Continual Dune and Ripple Migration in Nili Patera
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028575_1890

  Nili Patera is a region on Mars in which dunes and ripples are
  moving rapidly.

o Possible Future Mars Landing Site in Oxia Planum
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037070_1985

  Oxia Planum is broad clay-bearing surface between Mawrth and Ares
  Vallis that has been proposed as a future landing site.

o Bright Slope Streaks in Arabia Terra
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038044_1965

  Slope streak formation is among the few known processes currently
  active on Mars. The cause of the streaks is still debated.

o Dome and Barchan Dunes in Newton Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038117_1385

  Barchan dunes form by unidirectional winds and are good indicators
  of the dominant wind direction.
