Research into the geological processes operating on Mars relies on
interpretation of images and other data returned by unmanned
orbiters, probes and landers. Such interpretations are based on our
knowledge of processes occurring on Earth Terrestrial analog
studies therefore play an important role in understanding the
geological features observed on Mars. This 2007 book presents
direct comparisons between locales on Earth and Mars, and contains
contributions from leading planetary geologists to demonstrate the
parallels and differences between these two neighboring planets.
Mars is characterized by a wide range of geological phenomena that
also occur on Earth, including tectonic, volcanic, impact
cratering, eolian, fluvial, glacial and possibly lacustrine and
marine processes. The book provides terrestrial analogs for data
sets from Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Mars Exploration
Rovers and Mars Express, and will therefore be a key reference for
students and researchers of planetary science.
