My 2023 LPSC Abstract- Answers in the Dunes

Hello everyone! I am very excited to share my abstract for this year’s upcoming Lunar & Planetary Science Conference, titled “Planform Architecture of Fluvial Cross Strata Within the Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah with Applications to Mars.”

This presentation will outline the results of our recent field work in Utah investigating how the distribution of cross set widths in plan view can be compared to the distribution of cross set thicknesses in cross sectional view within fluvial deposits, and how these findings can be applied to planetary datasets.

Also, as is LPSC tradition, I wrote a summary haiku about our work:
