The Physical Properties and Geochemistry of Grains on Aeolian Bedforms at Gale Crater, Mars

This study reports on the physical properties and geochemistry of aeolian bedform grains along the Curiosity rover traverse in Gale crater from Vera Rubin Ridge to the Sands of Forvie (Sols 1902–2995), and includes comparisons to results made earlier in the mission. Volumetrically,
