Abstract
Noctis Labyrinthus is a region of chaotic terrain situated at the head of Valles Marineris in eastern Tharsis. The area is known to contain hydrated minerals, specifically phyllosilicates, though their full extent remains unmapped. The CRISM instrument on board Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is perfectly suited to mapping the surface mineralogy in detail.
