Studied area is located on high latitude of Mars and includes two craters (70.3°N, 266.45°E and 67.25°N, 249.45°E). On its inner craters slopes unique for Mars forms are located — lobate moraine-like ridges (LMLR). With the aim to study them digital terrain models (DTM) with high resolution were created. DTM was needed for modeling of avalanching on inner craters slopes, as well as for geological and geomorphological analysis of surface (Krasilnikov et al., 2016). For DTM construction photogrammetric processing of images from Context Camera was used, which is located on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (Malin et al., 2007). Construction and processing of DTM were made in PHOTOMOD program (Adrov et al., 1995). Modeling of surge process was carried out with Rapid Mass Movement Simulation (RAMMS) software in RAMMS::AVALANCHE module (Christen, Kowalski, Bartelt, 2010). For this modeling gravity was corrected to g = 3.71 m/s2, which allowed for realistic simulations of the gravitational processes on Mars.
