Scientific paper

The Magellan high resolution radar mapping of Venus discovered several different types of channels on the surface of the planet. A study has been undertaken of twelve canali type channels located in a region south east of Aphrodite Terra. The data collected include length, present day slope, and cross-sectional profile. Determination of the latter is based on the oblique incident angle of the Magellan radar, which results in an association of characteristic signatures with specific geometry's for channels running in a North-South direction. A map of the inferred cross-sectional profile has been produced for each point along the length of all the channels. The analysis also included determining in which direction the channels were emplaced.
