MARTIAN DUST DEVILS

I am collaborating with Ken Edgett and Bruce Cantor
at MSSS (Malin Space Science Systems) on the study of Martian dust devils. 
Photos of dust devils have been obtained from Mars Global Surveyor/ Mars Orbiter Camera
.
Sample photos that were processed and labelled by Ken Edgett are the following:
