I'd like to be included if there's room for planetary scientists who only post every few weeks! If starter pack lists are limited in length I fully understand prioritizing people who post more often.

America is ready for a senior NCO VP. ‘Let me caveat off the ma’am. You best be green on MEDPROs, State Department, or I’ll have every first line leader in my office at parade rest on Friday afternoon, hooah?’

Want to repeat the acknowledgments: many thanks to S. Sutton + others who ran the UA photogrammetry workshop last fall (S's SOCET SET help vital to final paper), and to A. Hodgetts, C. Gallagher & J. Smellie for science discussions/review. HiRISE team DTM of this area by K. Akers out in Aug release!

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.

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.
