The nearly global radar imaging and altimetry measurements of the surface of Venus
obtained by the Magellan spacecraft have revealed that deformational features of a wide …

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 …

Laboratory measurements of rock deformation in the brittle regime provide constraints on the
response of rocks to stress. These values are essential parameters in tectonic models of …

A mechanically based model for wrinkle ridge development is developed that combines
wrinkle ridge morphologies, regional topographic offsets suggestive of subsurface thrust …

Mechanical models and analog experiments show that erosion plays an important role in
controlling along-strike variations in thrust-belt deformation. Despite this fundamental …

The tessera terrain on Venus, comprised of areas of high radar backscatter, complex
deformation patterns relative to other units, and topography standing higher than …

Evidence for modern plate tectonics in the Archaean is equivocal to absent, and alternative
environments for formation and deformation of greenstone sequences are summarized. We …

▪ Abstract Wrinkle ridges accommodate very low amounts of shortening strain around
immense volcanic constructs and within impact basins on Mars. They originate from stresses …

The geodynamic history of Mars is written largely in the form of its tectonic structures. A
global population of compressional structures records a history of interior cooling and …

Shrouded by the thick clouds of hot, dense atmosphere, the planet Venus-Earth's closest
neighbour in space-remained mysterious until recent decades. Today, with data from …
