McLaughlin formulated a novel explanation for the Martian albedo markings and their variations. This explanation, the volcanic-aeolian hypothesis, is one of the very few prespacecraft views of planet-wide phenomena on Mars which have stood the test of time. The distribution of albedo markings is considered along with secular changes on Mars and seasonal changes in region Syrtis Major. Mariner 9 has demonstrated that aeolian transport is the dominant factor in determining the distribution of albedo markings on Mars.
