... source and most of the length of the 620-mile-long (1000-kilometer-long) Marte Vallis channel system. To probe the length, width and depth of these underground channels, the researchers used MRO's Shallow Radar (SHARAD). Marte Vallis' morphology is similar to more ancient channel systems on Mars, especially those of the Chryse ... lava can produce many of the same features. In comparison, little is known about Marte Vallis. With the SHARAD radar, the team was able to map the buried channels in three ...
