Data Set / Bundle

ESA_Mars_Valleys_HRSC_CTX_v1.0

Description

This dataset is comprised of shapefiles, georeferenced to the simple cylindrical projection of Mars, hereafter SimpleCylindrical_Mars, of Martian fluvial valley networks mapped using High-Resolution Stereo Camera images (15 – 25 m per pixel) in a pole-to-pole strip located from 20°W - 20°E. The purpose of this dataset is to assess the conformity between valley orientation and surface slope direction. The shapefiles contain the following information: 

  • valley length (m)
  • valley orientation (°)
  • average surface slope direction (°), and 
  • the difference between valley orientation and surface slope direction (°).
