This book approaches geological, geomorphological and topographical
mapping from the point in the workflow at which science-ready
datasets are available. Though there have been many individual
projects on dynamic maps and online GISs, in which coding and data
processing are given precedence over cartographic principles,
cartography is more than "just" processing and displaying spatial
data. However, there are currently no textbooks on this rapidly
changing field, and methods tend to be shared informally.
Addressing this gap in the literature, the respective chapters
outline many topics pertaining to cartography and mapping such as
the role and definition of planetary cartography and (vs?)
Geographic Information Science; theoretical background and
practical methodologies in geological mapping; science-ready versus
public-ready products; a goal/procedure-focused practical manual of
the most commonly used software in planetary mapping, which
includes generic (ArcGIS and its extensions, JMARS) and specific
tools (HiView, Cratertools etc.); extracting topographic
information from images; thematic mapping: climate; geophysics;
surface modeling; change detection; landing site selection; shared
maps; dynamic maps on the web; planetary GIS interfaces;
crowdsourcing; crater counting techniques; irregular bodies;
geological unit symbology; mapping center activities; and web
services. All chapters were prepared by authors who have actually
produced geological maps or GISs for NASA / the USGS, DLR, ESA or
MIIGAIK. Taken together, they offer an excellent resource for all
planetary scientists whose research depends on mapping, and for
students of astrogeology.
