With CO2-driven debris flows in the lab @AarhusUni and @OU_HVI_SPE_LABS and global trends in the Martian gully population!

ALT GIF of an experimental CO2-driven granular flow under Martian atmospheric conditions in the Aarhus Mars Simulation Wind Tunnel, see Roelofs et al., (2024), JGR - Planets. In the GIF the outflow from a steep narrow part of the flume to a outflow plain is captured.
