Abstract
⺠Detailed characterization of an Alpine-type valley glacier or glacier-like form (GLF) on Mars. ⺠Lower basin landforms are consistent with wet-based glaciation. ⺠Two surface terrains may show signs of current erosion by intermittent surface water. ⺠GLF has responded dynamically to climate change in the recent past. ⺠GLF basin currently characterized by 'active' upper basin and lower basin of relict subglacial bedforms - similar to Earth.
