Data from Pascuzzo et al "Development and evolution of icy layer outcrops on Mars' north polar ice cap: Observations of vertical and lateral variability"

Mars’ north polar ice cap features troughs that cut into the ice, exposing subsurface layers of different brightness and topographic expression. Specifically, these layers represent two different stratum types: lower albedo (higher dust content) marker beds, which protrude out of the wall topographically, and higher albedo (i.e., icier) interbeds which are recessed compared to the marker beds. In the paper "Development and evolution of icy layer outcrops on Mars' north polar ice cap: Observations of vertical and lateral variability", we investigate the role of local-scale processes by performing a detailed geomorphic characterization of variability in these strata. The dataset here contains all marker bed protrusion, surface brightness (a proxy for dust cover/content), and trough wall slope measurements used in the research.
