The present climate of Venus is controlled by an efficient carbon dioxide-water greenhouse effect and by the radiative properties of its global cloud cover. Both the greenhouse effect and clouds are sensitive to perturbations in the abundance of atmospheric water vapor and sulfur gases. Planetary-sc

Systematic geologic mapping of an area on Venus provides geologic unit and morphologic information about the area that was evaluated to provide a simple geologic history. In the study area, a large complexly deformed highland-Alpha Regio-was found to be among the oldest material units, but its relat
Athabasca and Marte Valles lie on the Cerberus plains, between the young, lava-covered plains of Elysium Planitia and Amazonis Planitia. To test pre-MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) suggestions of extremely young volcanic and fluvial activity, we present the first crater counts from MGS imagery, at resolu
