Transverse Aeolian Ridge Growth Mechanisms and Pattern Evolution in Scandia Cavi, Mars

In Scandia Cavi on Mars, barchans migrating over a field of transverse aeolian ridges (TARs) leave behind distinctive trails (“wakes”) comprising both TARs undergoing exhumation and coarse-grained ripples being shed from the barchans.
