Abstract
⺠Gasa crater formed during a recent glacial epoch (2.1-0.4 Ma). ⺠Post-Gasa gullies are related to melting of ice-rich mantling deposits. ⺠Gasa crater post-dates, and therefore does not contain, mantling deposits. ⺠Gullies within Gasa are due to the impact occurring into debris-covered glaciers. ⺠Found near Gasa, debris flows due to the impact support the presence of glaciers.
