The study highlights morphometric analysis of gully parameters across seasons, but the resolution constraints of HiRISE data (1 m/pixel) may overlook subtle sub-meter seasonal changes. How did the authors ensure the reliability of their observations given these limitations?

While the study identifies a dual gully formation mechanism, the lack of mineralogical data prevents definitive conclusions about the triggers for dry granular flows on equator-facing slopes. Could the authors discuss how future mineralogical analyses or higher-resolution imaging might refine these findings?
