Abstract: Abstract Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) are dark linear recurrent features which incrementally lengthen and fade each year on Martian slopes. Their activity during warmest seasons rises the question of modern martian water related process. To… read more here.

Abstract: Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) are narrow, dark features that typically source from rocky outcrops, incrementally lengthen down Martian steep slopes in warm seasons, fade in cold seasons and recur annually. In this study we report… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-017-0012-5
Abstract: Recent liquid water flow on Mars has been proposed based on geomorphological features, such as gullies. Recurring slope lineae — seasonal flows that are darker than their surroundings — are candidate locations for seeping liquid… read more here.
