Enhanced runout and erosion by overland flow at low pressure and sub-freezing conditions: Experiments and application to Mars

We present the results of laboratory experiments to study the sediment transport and erosional capacity of water at current martian temperature and pressure. We have performed laboratory simulation experiments in which a stream of water flowed over test beds at low temperature (~−20 °C) and low pres...
