Abstract

The directions of lava flows in the Tharsis region of Mars are used to identify regional palaeo-slopes, vent areas and local topography. A comparison is made between these flow directions and the present day radar-measured topography; good agreement between these data sets indicates that little infra-regional tectonic deformation has occurred following the emplacement of the preserved lavas.
