Use a broad variety of remote sensing data, including the latest very high resolution images (0.25-5 m/pixel) and digital elevation models from NASA and ESA spacecraft,to understand the tectonic history of an important region of Mars and its effects on ancient fluvial systems and proposed shorelines.Work with ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Rover data following its landing in summer 2021. Develop skills in quantitative GIS, planetary morphostratigraphic mapping, stereo photogrammetry Digital Elevation Model production, data synthesis and academic writing.Join a large, dynamic research group with active Mars mission and instrument involvement, led by researchers working at the heart of UK planetary science.Arabia Terra is one of the most ancient parts of Mars. Oxia Planum, the destination for ESA's 2020 ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Rover, is part of this region. Recent work has shown that during Mars' ancient Noachian period (more than 3.7 billion years ago) Arabia Terra hosted extensive river systems (1,2). In the west of the region, the fluvial landscape has been exhumed from beneath younger sedimentary terrains, but has also been modified by tectonism operating on both regional and global scales.The aim of this project is to assess the impact of regional tectonism on the geological history of western Arabia Terra. The project will analyse tectonic features observed in remote sensing data to constrain models of long wavelength crustal flexure, and assess what impacts flexure has had on paleohydrology though time, including the implications for the elevation of proposed palaeoshoreline features and fluvial systems

利用各种各样的遥感数据，包括最新的高分辨率图像（0.25-5米/像素）和NASA和ESA航天器的数字高程模型，了解火星一个重要地区的构造历史及其对古代河流系统和拟议海岸线的影响。与ExoMars罗莎琳德·富兰克林探测器在2021年夏天着陆后的数据一起工作。发展定量地理信息系统、行星地貌地层制图、立体摄影测量、数字高程模型制作、数据综合和学术写作技能。加入一个大型的、充满活力的研究小组，积极参与火星任务和仪器，由英国行星科学中心的研究人员领导。阿拉伯地是火星上最古老的部分之一。欧空局2020年“罗莎琳德·富兰克林”火星探测器的目的地奥夏平原就是这个地区的一部分。最近的研究表明，在火星的古代诺亚亚时期（37亿多年前），阿拉伯地拥有广泛的河流系统（1,2）。在该地区的西部，河流景观已经从较年轻的沉积地形下挖掘出来，但也被区域和全球尺度上的构造运动所改变。该项目的目的是评估区域构造运动对阿拉伯地西部地质历史的影响。该项目将分析在遥感数据中观测到的构造特征，以约束长波地壳弯曲模型，并评估弯曲随时间对古水文的影响，包括对拟议的古海岸线特征和河流系统的海拔的影响
