Lava Tube Flow Models at Alba Patera, Mars: Topographic Constraints on Eruption Rates

Sven Riedel, Susan E. H. Sakimoto, Bethany A. Bradley, Andrew deWet

Abstract

Alba Patera has some of the longest lava tubes over some of the shallowest slopes on Mars. We use Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topography to model eruption rates for several Alba Patera lava tubes and compare them within Alba and with flows from other martian volcanic regions. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
