Description
| The data were collected from derived products of instruments on NASA missions orbiting Mars accessed through the Java Mission-planning and Analysis for Remote Sensing (JMARS) GIS platform. Our dataset exists in the form of tables and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, with a data volume of <2 MB.
The dataset generated represents measured flow dimensions (i.e., length, width, and slope) and subsequent calculated flow dimensions (i.e., volume and mass) for 40 lava flows observed in the Tharsis volcanic province on Mars. The raw data can be compared to known terrestrial data and fed through existing and future models to constrain flow emplacement conditions. This dataset represents one of the larger samples of observed Martian lava flows analyzed with high resolution images (e.g., CTX and HiRISE) and moderate to high resolution DEM data (e.g., MOLA and HRSC).
In addition to the raw data, this dataset also contains the results of two model applications. We used these data to obtain eruption rate and/or rheological parameters using models described in the main text of Peters et al. (in review) derived from the following references (e.g., Fink and Griffiths, 1990; 1992; Hiesinger et al., 2007; Baloga and Glaze, 2008). A combination of total volume estimated from the DEMs and calculated eruption rate resulted in eruption durations are also supplied in the dataset. |
