  1. Geologic map of Mars. This global geologic map of Mars, which records the distribution of geologic units and landforms on the planet's surface through time, is based on unprecedented variety, quality, and quantity of remotely sensed data acquired since the Viking Orbiters. These data have provided morphologic, topographic, spectral ...

  2. Jul 14, 2014 · A new global geologic map of Mars –the most thorough representation of the "Red Planet's" surface – has been published by the U.S. Geological Survey. This map provides a framework for continued scientific investigation of Mars as the long-range target for human space exploration. The new map brings together observations and scientific ...

  3. May 1, 2014 · A new global geologic map of Mars has been completed in a digital, geographic information system (GIS) format using geospatially controlled altimetry and image data sets. The map reconstructs the geologic history of Mars, which includes many new findings collated in the quarter century since the previous, Viking-based global maps were published, as well as other discoveries that were made during t

  4. This geologic map of Mars was compiled largely from Mariner-9-based 1:5,000,000-scale geologic maps prepared by several authors. However, many of the geologic units of the larger scale maps have been combined and revised to provide continuity of portrayal so that this map expresses our own concepts as well as those of the mappers at the larger scale.

  8. May 1, 2014 · The geologic map is registered to the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) global digital elevation model (DEM) at 463 m/pixel horizontal spacing at the equator constructed from ∼600 million laser ranging measurements having accuracies of ∼100 m in a horizontal position and ∼1 m in radius (Neumann et al., 2001, Smith et al., 2001) and geodetically fixed using the ...
