Tectonism in western Arabia Terra, Mars

利用各种遥感数据，包括来自NASA和ESA航天器的最新极高分辨率图像（0.25-5米/像素）和数字高程模型，了解火星重要区域的构造历史及其对古代河流系统和拟议海岸线的影响。使用ExoMars Rosalind富兰克林火星车2021年夏季着陆后的数据。发展定量地理信息系统、行星地形测绘、立体摄影测量数字高程模型制作、数据合成和学术写作方面的技能。加入一个大型、动态的研究小组，积极参与火星使命和仪器，由英国行星科学核心工作的研究人员领导。阿拉伯地是火星最古老的部分之一。Oxia Planum是ESA 2020年ExoMars Rosalind富兰克林漫游者的目的地，也是该地区的一部分。最近的研究表明，在火星的古代诺亚时期（超过37亿年前），阿拉伯大地拥有广泛的河流系统（1，2）。在该区域西部，河流景观已从较年轻的沉积地形下被挖掘出来，但也受到区域和全球规模的构造作用的影响，本项目的目的是评估区域构造作用对阿拉伯半岛西部地质历史的影响。该项目将分析遥感数据中观察到的构造特征，以限制长波长地壳挠曲模型，并评估挠曲对古水文学的长期影响，包括对拟议古海岸线特征和河流系统高程的影响

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
