Results of this study can enhance our understanding of numerous small volcanic landforms on Mars whose formation may have been in shallow-water environments during epochs when persistent surface water was present.Learn more about the evolution of Earth's newest island and how it could reveal new infomration about the presence of water on Mars: Monitoring and Modeling the Rapid Evolution of EArth's Newest Volcanic Island: Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai (Tonga) Using High Spatial Resolution Satellite Observations Authors: J.B.
