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 ...

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 ...

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

landers and orbiters on Mars in 1976 saw the release of a global atlas (Batson et al., 1979), 1 a new global geologic map (Scott and Tanaka, 1986; Greeley and Guest, 1987; Tanaka and Scott, 1987), and even a digital image of the entire surface (the Mars Digital Image Model, or MDIM). Kieffer et al. (1992b) summarized the major conclusions of ...
