Mapping the Planets—Geology Stakes Its Claim
Planetary geoscience had very little presence in GSA’s first century, but it has a long history in GSA publications. Beginning with the Moon, the transformation of the planets and their satellites from astronomical objects into geological worlds has taken place largely by geologic mapping using telescope and spacecraft imagery and by the application of stratigraphic principles to these new data...
متن کاملGeology of the Victoria quadrangle (H02), Mercury
Mercury’s quadrangle H02 ‘Victoria’ is located in the planet’s northern hemisphere and lies between latitudes 22.5° N and 65° N, and between longitudes 270° E and 360° E. This quadrangle covers 6.5% of the planet’s surface with a total area of almost 5 million km. Our 1:3,000,000-scale geologic map of the quadrangle was produced by photo-interpretation of remotely sensed orbital images captured...
متن کاملGeologic mapping of ejecta deposits in Oppia Quadrangle, Asteroid (4) Vesta
Oppia Quadrangle Av-10 (288–360 E, ±22 ) is a junction of key geologic features that preserve a rough history of Asteroid (4) Vesta and serves as a case study of using geologic mapping to define a relative geologic timescale. Clear filter images, stereo-derived topography, slope maps, and multispectral color-ratio images from the Framing Camera on NASA’s Dawn spacecraft served as basemaps to cr...

متن کاملPrecambrian Rocks of the Tusas Mountains
INTRODUCTION Precambrian rocks in the Tusas Mountains range from nearly monomineralic quartzite, in which the principal result of metamorphism has been simple recrystallization, through locally metasomatized schist and gneiss profoundly modified by potash-rich fluids during the intrusion of pegmatite. Texturally, the rocks range from schist and phyllite containing penetrative and pervasive clea...
