Monitor South-Facing Chasma Boreale Headscarp for Avalanches

In Search Of...Avalanches
Our science goal is to monitor for avalanches. This area has fan deposits suggesting the likelihood of recent avalanche processes happening here. The location can help to test the role of carbon dioxide disappearance as an avalanche trigger. If there is any change detected, we want ot be best able to measure how much.
