Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, NBardy34, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Outflow channels. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Good to see more active research scientists on WP! I'm based out of the University of Virginia, working with Alan Howard. I wanted to welcome you, but also to preemptively apologise for having reverted some of your early edits (I started doing this before I noticed you were a new user as well). The problem is that the most up to date refs I've seen (Carr, Surface of Mars, 2004) have Ma'adim V. as an outflow, not valley network. I'm certainly aware of it's "special" (unique?) status (i.e., as a putative lake overflow feature), and that neither outflow channel nor valley network is wholly applicable, but agreed with Carr's later views that outflow is probably better.

If you've got a more up to date reference, please feel free to make your changes again - and add the ref!

Again, welcome! I look forward to having someone else contributing to the Mars surface processes articles! If you fancy it, you can add your name to the list of active editors of Solar System articles over at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Solar_System, and can add the template {{User WP Solar System}} to your user page.
