Abstract in brief

  • NASA's Viking 1 Lander in 1976 landed near a large flood channel on Mars, but instead of finding just flood deposits, it encountered a boulder-strewn surface likely shaped by an ancient marine impact.
  • A 110 km impact crater named Pohl, located nearby, is stratigraphically positioned between older flood-eroded surfaces and younger megatsunami deposits, suggesting it was formed by a marine impact that triggered a megatsunami event.
  • Simulations of the impact and resulting megatsunami match the deposits observed, supporting the idea that these features were created by oceanic and tsunami activity, which also implies that the rocks and soils at the landing site may be marine in origin, challenging previous assumptions about Mars' surface history.

We used to think Mars was geologically dead, but it turns out Mars has a lot going on under its surface. https://t.co/Iho4Yyvrg7 https://t.co/JyQActueEK

Finalmente, encontraron un cráter de 110 kilómetros de ancho llamado Pohl, que casi con seguridad se formó en el período correcto, antes de que Marte se secara. El estudio fue publicado como Open Access en Scientific Reports, el 1 de Diciembre de 2022. https://t.co/7fgDZzMMEe
