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 ...
Geologic map of Mars. January 9, 2023. View Data Release. 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 ...

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 ...

Generalised geological map of Mars [1] Mars as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars. It emphasizes the composition, structure, history, and physical processes that shape the planet. It is analogous to the field of terrestrial geology.
