Martian landforms shaped by winds, water, lava flow, seasonal icing and other forces are the topic of a special issue on Icarus. The January special issue of Icarus offers 21 papers on results from the Univ. of Arizona-managed HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. HiRISE is the University of Arizona's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment from the Department of Planetary Sciences camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. HiRISE is the largest camera ever to leave Earth orbit, has opened a new chapter in the exploration of Mars. Its ability to resolve 1-m-scale objects – in color and 3 dimensions – anywhere on the surface of Mars is superior to that of unclassified orbital remote sensing data available to terrestrial geologists.
