Nature and origin of sulfate deposits in equatorial and polar regions of Mars. Morphological and mineralogical comparison of Aram Chaos and the North Polar Cap.

Important sulfate deposits have been discovered in various equatorial regions of Mars : the canyons of Valles Marineris, chaotic terrains, and Meridiani plains. In order to explain the chemical composition of these deposits and the formation of such a large volume of sediments displaying the same co...
