Give me questions to ask him - I may or may not make it to the poster session tomorrow (as it will be post-outreach-sessions and thus we'll be wanting to hit a restaurent ) but if I do - I'll ask him.

Coupla questions that spring to mind:
* Why do the "features" diverge around the bright highlands in a seemingly eolian manner (teardrop pattern)?
* If it's not eolian, would could explain the global teardop pattern have a similar global orientation (teardrop pattern always trailing to the east)
* Why would the plains be subsiding, but the brightlands not so evidently? (I'll bet I can guess the answer on this one)
* The ripple pattern seems to be the youngest feature on the planet (aside from clouds), what caused the geologically recent subsistence (I'll bet I can also guess this answer, also)
* What further observations/evidence would support a subsiding model compared to an eolian model?
