gmap - qgis training material: Aram Chaos (Mars)

  • 1. Università degli Studi G. d'Annunzio Chieti - Pescara: Pescara, Abruzzo, IT

Description

Aram Chaos is a more than 250 km large crater characterized by the presence of Chaotic Terrains forming mesas and knobs, associated with the outflow channel of Ares Vallis. The Chaotic Terrains are unconformably embayed and locally superposed by some layered hydrate minerals-bearing deposits. 

 

The training package includes a complete HRSC coverage (including images and DEMs) (Neukum et al., 2004; Jaumann et al., 2007) and selected CTX (Malin et al., 2007), HiRISE (McEwen et al., 2007), and CRISM (Murchie et al., 2007) data. The area has been divided in 8 tiles each of one ‘stand.alone’ in terms of geology but at the same time ready for collaborative mapping purposes.
