JAMES BURLEY<\/h1>\n

Landscape modification processes associated hypervelocity impact mechanics. My PhD research focuses on surface flow morphologies and extended landscape modification phenomena associated with well-preserved martian impact craters. I aim to characterize and explain enigmatic surface deposits on Mars that occur around impact craters beyond the geographic constraints of known ejecta processes.<\/span><\/p>\n
