Surface roughness at sub-meter scales remaines unresolved even at the highest available 0.3m/pixel resolution of HiRISE , and is yet a fundamental surface property of the Martian surface and a pivotal consideration in the planning stages of lander missions to Mars.  This website offers support for researchers interested in using the 'two-look' roughness approach described in Mushkin & Gillespie (2005, 2006) to map fine scale surface roughness on Mars.
