The 2nd paper from my NPP postdoc is now available (open access) in GRL! HiRISE imaged a layered, steep-sided ridge in the glacial deposits near the Pavonis Mons volcano on Mars; we argue that it formed from volcano-ice (and volcano-water) interaction. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Figure 1 from the paper. Inset a: a map showing the distribution of glacial deposits, including the ridge we studied, next to Pavonis Mons. Inset b: a map showing where Pavonis Mons is on Mars. Main image: the population of ridges including the one we studied.
Figure 2 from the paper, showing the ridge and a neighboring ridge in detail.
Figure 3 from the paper, showing a 3-d rendering of the ridge and comparing it to three similar ridges in Iceland.
Figure 4 from the paper: a sketch showing the sequence of events by which we argue the ridge formed.

Really enjoyed making these figures--I took a quick personal trip to Iceland to get the photos and the weather was cloudier than ideal for clarity but very dramatic.
