Abstract

Motivation: On May 5, 2022, the martian SEIS seismometer recorded an unprecedented M Ma W 4.7 Marsquake. The epicenter is located at 3.0 • S, 171.9 • E. The areas is barely flat with only a few N-S tectonic-like features. Most unfilled impact craters and ridges show dust avalanches (a.k.a. Slope streaks). We investigate the post-seismic outcomes in terms of avalanche triggering under today's Mars conditions in the framework of the s1222a event.
