Introduction
To investigate whether the landscapes in terminal Hebrus Valles were formed due to infiltration, we conducted a series of experiments simulating a cavernous underground system with an over-flooding scenario.
Main results
- Hebrus Valles Mars, shows fluvially dissected sinkholes, suggesting that enormous conduits served as megaflood subsurface evacuation routes.
- We conducted a series of flume experiments to simulate infiltration patterns through sinkholes similar to those observed along Hebrus Valles
- Our scenario involves the presence of discontinuities in the Martian subsurface, due to subsurface drainage, forming organized conduits.
