The Volcanoes of Mars
Langbeschreibung
The Volcanoes of Mars offers a clear, cohesive summary of Mars volcanology. It begins with an introduction to the geology and geography of the red planet and an overview of its volcanic history, and continues to discuss each distinct volcanic province, identifying the common and unique aspects of each region. Incorporating basic volcanological information and constraints on the regional geologic history derived from geologic mapping, the book also examines current constraints on the composition of the volcanic rocks as investigated by both orbiting spacecraft and rovers. In addition, it compares the features of Martian volcanoes to those seen on other volcanic bodies.

James R. Zimbelman is Senior Geologist Emeritus at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies in the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, where he studies planetary geology including the geologic analysis of remote sensing data of Mars, geologic mapping of Mars and Venus, the study of long lava flows on the terrestrial planets, and field studies of volcanic, aeolian and pluvial features. In 2013 he received the Ronald Greeley Award for Distinguished Service, and in 2020 the G. K. Gilbert Award, both from the Planetary Geology Division (PGD) of the Geological Society of America (GSA). He is a Fellow of GSA, has served as Secretary of the American Geophysical Union's Planetary Sciences section, an officer in PGD, and chair of the NASM Center for Earth and Planetary Studies.
