![]() | Nicoll, Kathleen; Chan, Marjorie A.; Jewell, Paul | Bonneville basin analogues for large lake processes & chronologies of geomorphic development on Mars | Pleistocene Lake Bonneville was a large (~50,000 sq km) terrestrial closed lake system in Utah, USA that developed during the Last Glacial Maximum (~20 ka BP), and persisted at highstand until a catastrophic outburst flood event ~17.4 ka cal BP and warming climate significantly lowered its volume [1... | 2009 | |

![]() | Nicoll, Kathleen | Geobiology and sedimentology of the hypersaline Great Salt Lake, Northern Utah, USA: analogues for assessing watery environments on Mars? | The hypersaline Great Salt Lake (GSL) of northern Utah, USA is a critical regional ecosystem that has not been examined in detail from a geobiological perspective. There are presently only a handful of studies on the biota of this shallow water closed-lake system [1]. Despite interest from industrie... | 2010 | |

![]() | Nicoll, Kathleen; Chan, Marjorie A. | Geomorphic evolution of pleistocene Lake Bonneville: temporal implications for surface processes on Mars | Pleistocene Lake Bonneville of the Great Basin offers unparalleled insight into temporal constraints for understanding the development of similar analog environments and processes on Mars. The extensive and well preserved lake system exhibits many intact features that include: prominent shorelines, ... | 2010 | |

![]() | Nicoll, Kathleen | Interpreting Martian paleoclimates from valley network morphologies: insights from terrestrial analogues in Egypt | Morphogenetic classification of Martian landforms has provided a context for the inference of surface processes and paleoclimatic conditions on Mars [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The complexity of extensive valley network patterns (Figure 1) suggests that fluvial conditions formerly existed on Mars [7]; howe... | 1999 | |

![]() | Nicoll, Kathleen; Chan, Marjorie A. | Utah's geologic and geomorphic terrestrial analogs to Mars: a training ground for future robotic and human missions to Mars | Utah offers spectacular geologic features and valuable analogue environments and processes for Mars studies. Relatively intact, horizontal strata of the Colorado Plateau are analogous to Mars, where the effects of strong ground motion from earthquakes or impacts are preserved. Within Utah, easily ac... | 2010 |
