Gullies are geological features where the water or mass movement leaves behind a gap through erosion of soil. With the discovery of gullies on Mars, especially after the scientific missions to the red planet in the past 20 years, scientists have been trying to understand their formation in places where no flowing water has been detected

AHMEDABAD: A doctoral study at IIT Gandhinagar (IIT-Gn) by a scientist of the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) has found 20 new sites on Mars where gullies – similar to water-carved channels on Earth — have been found with debris-flow deposits.

The research titled ‘Glacial landforms and gully formation on Mars’ was carried out under the guideship of Dr Dwijesh Ray, associate professor at Planetary Sciences Division of PRL
