Test Inner-Channel Hypothesis in Long Valley System

Test Inner-Channel Hypothesis in Long Valley System

The Inner-Channel Problem
Not so much a problem but an hypothesis: Context Camera data suggests an inner-channel in this long valley system. HiRISE is needed to check and enable measurement of channel width. Inner channels are useful for paleohydrology, but they are rarely preserved in long valley systems.
