  • Summary

    We consider the types of information available to the planetary geomorphologist to investigate craters on Mars. This information primarily takes the form of images, as well as topographic and compositional data, collected from Mars orbit by a variety of spacecraft. We then review aspects of the chronology of Mars, from the earliest geologic epoch (the Noachian) until the most recent (the Amazonian), and how the rocks formed during these time periods are distributed across the planet. We discuss that what can be observed on Mars today is not the way in which the planet has appeared throughout its history.
