A new class of Martian impact craters have been discovered, by Northern Arizona University scientists from which public, co-educational college and university?
LARLE crater A new class of Martian impact craters have been discovered by Northern Arizona University scientist Prof Nadine Barlow and Dr Joseph Boyce from the University of Hawaii in Oct 2013. They have termed it as ‘low-aspect-ratio layered ejecta (LARLE) craters’. Prof Nadine Barlow, a scientist Northern Arizona University described this class of craters with “thin-layered outer deposit” surpassing “the typical range of ejecta”. “The combination helps vaporize the materials and create a base flow surge. The low aspect ratio refers to how thin the deposits are relative to the area they cover,” Prof Barlow said. The scientists used data from continuing reconnaissance of Mars using the old Mars Odyssey Orbiter and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, discovered 139 LARLE craters ranging in diameter from 1.0 to 12.2 km, with 97 per cent of the LARLE craters are found poleward of 35N and 40S, while remaining mainly traced in the equatorial Medusae Fossae Formation.
University of Arizona College of Medicine The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson, located in Tucson, Arizona, is one of two MD granting medical schools in the state of Arizona. The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix was initially established as a branch campus in 2007, but became an independent medical school in 2012. The campus is located at the The University of Arizona Health Sciences|University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) center on the campus of the University of Arizona and is governed by the Arizona Board of Regents. Traditionally, the college accepted Arizona residents exclusively. However, for the 2009-2010 incoming class, the school changed its policy to allow for admission of "highly-qualified" non-residents.
