The Volcanoes of Mars

Autor James R. Zimbelman, David A. Crown, Peter J. Mouginis-Mark, Tracy K. P. Gregg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2020
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.
Concluding with prospects for new knowledge to be gained from future Mars missions, this book brings researchers in volcanology and the study of Mars up to date on the latest findings in the study of volcanoes on Mars, allowing the reader to compare and contrast Martian volcanoes to volcanoes studied on Earth and throughout the Solar System.


  • Presents clearly organized text and figures that will quickly allow the reader to find specific aspects of Martian volcanism
  • Includes definitions of geological and volcanological terms throughout to aid interdisciplinary understanding
  • Summarizes key results for each volcanic region of Mars and provides copious citations to the research literature to facilitate further discovery
  • Synthesizes the most current data from multiple spacecraft missions, including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as geochemical data from Martian meteorites
  • Utilizes published geologic mapping results to highlight the detailed knowledge that exists for each region
