North polar trough formation due to in-situ erosion as a source of young ice in mid-latitudinal mantles on Mars

Abstract The clockwise spiral of troughs marking the Martian north polar plateau forms one of the planet’s youngest megastructures. One popular hypothesis posits that the spiral pattern resulted as troughs underwent poleward migration. Here, we show that the troughs are extensively segmented into en...
