Not listed ONE RESULT OF THE NASA MAGELLAN MISSION TO VENUS WAS THE CREATION OF A VENUSWIDE MAPPING PROGRAM THAT HAS THE GOAL OF DETERMINING THE PLANETS GEOLOGIC HISTORY AND CONSTRAINING ITS GEOLOGIC PROCESSES THROUGH GEOLOGIC MAPPING (TANAKA ET AL 1994). THE PROGRAM DIVIDED THE PLANET INTO 62 QUADRANGLES THAT WOULD BE GEOLOGICALLY MAPPED AT THE 1:5 000 000 SCALE. MANY OF THESE QUADRANGLES HAVE BEEN MAPPED AND PUBLISHED BUT A SMALL NUMBER OF QUADRANGLES HAVE NOT YET BEEN ASSIGNED AND ARE UNMAPPEDMEANING THAT SEVERAL SECTIONS OF VENUS STILL NEED TO BE FULLY EXPLORED. GEOLOGIC MAPPING THESE REMAINING QUADRANGLES WILL PROVIDE A VEHICLE WITH WHICH TO MORE FULLY UNDERSTAND VENUS HISTORY.IN THIS PROJECT WE PROPOSE TO CREATE A GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MAHUEA THOLUS QUADRANGLE ONE OF THE REMAINING UNMAPPED 1:5 000 000 QUADRANGLES ON VENUS. THE RESULTING MAP WILL BE PUBLISHED BY THE USGS AND WILL BE A HIGHER ORDER DATA PRODUCT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED ANALYSIS OF VENUS GEOLOGIC HISTORY.TO ACHIEVE THIS PROJECT'S RESEARCH OBJECTIVE WE WILL EMPLOY GEOLOGICAL MAPPING USING NASAS MAGELLAN SBAND (12.6 CM WAVELENGTH)SAR AND ALTIMETRY DATA. SPECIFICALLY (1) FULLRESOLUTION BASIC IMAGE DATA RECORD (FBIDR: 75 100 MPIXEL BOTH RIGHT AND LEFTILLUMINATED RADAR IMAGES) AND (2) MAGELLAN ALTIMETRY (C. 8 KM ALONG-TRACK X 20 KM ACROSS-TRACK WITH C 30 M AVERAGE VERTICAL ACCURACY WHICH IMPROVES TO C 10 M IN SMOOTH AREAS: FORD ET A 1993). IMAGES WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USGS MAPAPLANETWEBSITE AND WILL BE IMPORTED INTO ARCGIS 10 WHERE GEOLOGIC MAPPING WILL BE CONDUCTED. GEOLOGICAL MAPPING WILL FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES AND CAUTIONS OF TANAKA ET AL (1994) HANSEN (2000) AND SKINNER AND TANAKA (2003).THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE PLANETARY DATA ARCHIVING RESTORATION AND TOOLS PROGRAM (PDART) OBJECTIVES. SPECIFICALLY A HIGHER ORDER DATA PRODUCT (IE A GEOLOGIC MAP AND ANCILLARY DATA) WILL BE GENERATED FROM DATA COLLECTED FROM A PREVIOUS PLANETARY MISSION. ALTHOUGH SOME DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION (WHICH IS ALLOWED ACCORDING TO THIS PROGRAMS AO) IS AN INHERENT ASPECT OF GEOLOGIC MAPPING THE RESULTANT MAP IS AN INVESTIGATIVE TOOL AND CAN THEREFORE BE USED AS A CONTEXTUAL FRAMEWORK ON WHICH FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS OF A REGION OR GEOLOGIC PROCESS OR HISTORY CAN AND SHOULD BE BASED (TANAKA 1994 HANSEN 2000) THEREFORE THE DATA PRODUCT CREATED WILL SERVE AS NEW REFERENCE INFORMATION FOR VENUS.
