Wind in Jezero Crater, Mars

Authors: Mackenzie Day; Taylor Dorn;

Wind in Jezero Crater, Mars

Abstract

AbstractWind generates erosional and depositional morphologies across Mars, including in Jezero crater, the planned landing site for the Mars 2020 rover. Known for subaqueously formed sedimentary features, Jezero crater also hosts wind‐formed features that provide insights about the local wind regime. We combine interpretations from dunes, wind streaks, transverse aeolian ridges, and yardangs to holistically understand the recent history of wind in Jezero crater. Together, these features describe modern easterly winds trending toward 263° ± 8° and older southwesterly winds that formed small yardangs. Previous research has suggested that aeolian processes eroded the delta deposit in Jezero crater. We propose early southwesterly winds removed the majority of material, exposing the more lithified units seen today. Modern easterly winds continue to cause erosion, but lithologic heterogeneities remain the dominant control on delta deposit evolution. Aeolian erosion has accentuated existing sedimentary structures, leaving the striking delta remnant seen today.
