Surface geologic features form a detailed record of Venus' evolution. Venus displays a
profusion of volcanic and tectonics features, including both familiar and exotic forms. One …

Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably)
bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant …

Abstract The Great Dyke of Atla Regio (GDAR) is traced for~ 3700 km on Venus, as a
surface graben (narrow trough) interpreted to overlie a continuous laterally-emplaced …

Venus is home to many thousands of volcanic landforms that range in size from much less
than 5 km to well over 100 km in diameter. Volcanism is clearly a major, widespread process …

Fluvial erosion is usually assumed to be absent on Venus, precluded by a high surface
temperature of~ 450° C and supported by extensive uneroded volcanic flows. However …

Venusian coronae are circular to oblong features that are defined by their circumferential
fracture annuli. Most coronae also have a circumferential rim. Corona topographies are …

Tesserae on Venus are locally the stratigraphically oldest units preserved on the planet.
These regions are characterized by pervasive tectonic deformation including normal faults …

Detailed map** of major-scale volcanic centres on Venus provides a complementary view
to terrestrial large igneous provinces (LIPs). On Venus, the surface flood basalt relationships …

Subduction initiation induced by a hot and buoyant mantle plume head is unique among
proposed subduction initiation mechanisms because it does not require pre-existing weak …
