P41A:
Fluvial Landforms and Sedimentary Deposits on Planetary Surfaces

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session Title - en français: Morphologies fluviales et dépôts sédimentaires sur les surfaces planétaires

Session ID#: 6807

Session Description:
This session solicites studies focusing on the geometry, setting and evolution of fluvial, lacustrine landforms and their corresponding sedimentary deposits on planetary surfaces.
We especially welcome analyses from orbital or in situ data from Mars and Titan, as well as terrestrial field studies of planetary analogues.
Studies coupling chemistry and/or mineralogy with morphology are solicited as well, including most recent results from the Opportunity and Curiosity rover missions.

Session Description - en français: Cette session sollicite des études sur la géometrie, la mise en place et l'évolution de morphologies fluviales et lacustres, et leurs dépôts sédimentaires, sur les surfaces planétaires. Nous encourageons particulièrement les études basées sur des analyses orbitales ou in situ de Mars et Titan, et les études de terrain sur des analogues planétaires. Nous sollicitions également les études couplant minéralogie et/ou chimie avec la morphologie, incluant les résultats récents de rovers Opportunity et Curiosity.
