Science Question:
What patterns occur in the geologic features near sand dunes?
Main Results:
1) Of the sand dunes that we looked at, most (34/65) were near craters, or (22/65) channels. 2) Of the sand dunes that we looked at, there were not many sand dunes near wind streaks (2/65), yardangs (2/65), volcanoes (4/65), and dust devil tracks(1/65). 3) There were not any sand dunes at 7.306 N and 43.671 E, and 6.842N and 56.536E on Mars.

Extra Comments:
1) In the future, we could measure the distance between the geological features and the sand dunes. Due to time constraints, we did not get to do this as planned for the images we analyzed. With this data, we might be able to characterize the sand dune formation a bit more. 2) Dunes are cool!
3) We would like to thank Paige Graff for helping guide our research, and the design of our proposal.
