Small Martian Shield Volcanoes and Terrestrial
Introduction: A number of terrestrial analog studies have focused on characterizing individual lava flows [e.g., 3, 6-7]. Morphometric and compositional information from these features can be used to infer the rheological properties of similar lava flows, the timing and duration of the eruptions episodes, the depth of the magma chambers [2, 12-14], and even the eruptive and emplacement history ...
متن کاملShield Volcano Slope Distributions: an Approach for Characterizing Martian
Introduction: Terrain analyses are commonly used to study the geomorphic processes that have modified surfaces [1]. Our approach is based on analysis of slopes, which are the irregular surface expressions of the processes responsible for shaping landscapes [2]. Slope distributions likely represent unique surface forming processes and can be used to characterize entire landscapes at a given scal...
متن کاملComparison of Effusive Volcanism at Olympus, Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus Montes, Mars from Lava Flow Mapping Using Mars Express Hrsc
Introduction: The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA's Mars Express (MEX) orbiter [1] has provided 12.5 m/pixel projected images for a north-south transect of the four major Tharsis shield volcanoes. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine lava flows at high resolution with regional context. Our objective is to characterize late-stage effusive processes and iden...
متن کاملStratigraphy of small shield volcanoes on Venus: Criteria for determining stratigraphic relationships and assessment of relative age and temporal abundance
[1] Small volcanic edifices, shields with a diameter less than about 20 km, are common and sometimes very abundant features on the plains of Venus. Typically, they form tight or loose clusters of features known as shield fields. Small shields are interpreted to be formed due to small-scale eruptions through numerous and distinct sources, a mode of formation apparently significantly different fr...
متن کاملMartian Strain History : Alba and Syria :
Introduction and Objectives: The centers work of Anderson et al. (2001) [1] identified two prominent centers in the Tharsis region, Syria Planum and Alba Patera (Stage 2 and Stage 4 respectively). Because of their perceived influence on the geologic and possible paleoclimatic histories of Mars, Mars Orbiter Laser Altimetry (MOLA) along with published stratigraphic and paleotectonic information ...
