NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission
for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. The Thermal
Emission
Imaging System (THEMIS) was developed by Arizona State University,
Tempe, in co.oration with Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing.
The THEMIS investigation is led by Dr. Philip Christensen at Arizona
State
University. Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver, is the prime
contractor
for the Odyssey project, and developed and built the orbiter. Mission
operations are conducted jointly from Lockheed Martin and from JPL, a
division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

The one called "dunes" is extra interesting.
I is one dune in bottom, splitting several times
into 20 tinier ones at the top.
Which way is dominant geological process, merge or splitting?
Is this een on Earth?
