Global documentation of gullies with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera and implications for their formation

•We mapped the global distribution of gullies with CTX data covering ∼85% of Mars.•Mapping confirms gullies are confined to martian mid- to high-latitudes.•Gullies are strongly correlated with regions of distinct thermophysical properties.•Preferred orientation shifts from pole- to equator-facing wi...
