| Abstract | Elysium Planitia is a low-lying, equatorial plains region of Mars containing arealy extensive and continuous deposits of extremely flat terrain with unusual and distinctive “platy-ridged-polygonised” (PRP) morphology. The distinctive morphology allows this terrain-type to be easily mapped in remote sensing data. PRP has been interpreted to indicate extensive flood lavas by some authors, but also by others as the dust-covered surface of an ancient frozen sea, or to be the periglacially reworked remnants of a catastrophic fluvial flood landscape. |
