The Aino Planitia quadrangle (V46) extends from 25 degrees S to 50 degrees latitude, and from 60 degrees to 90 degrees longitude. The surface altitude in this region, which lies on the western end of Juno Chasma and to the south of Ovda Regio, varies from approximately 2 km above Mean Planetary Radius (MPR, 6051.84) to over 1.5 km below MPR. The quadrangle contains one major shield volcano, Kunapipi Mons, and eight coronae (Nishtigri, Aramaiti, Ohogetsu, Copia, Indrani, Cailleach, Makh and Khotun Coronae). The corona range in size from 175 to 640 km. All are classified as Concentric coronae except Copia, which is an Asymmetric corona. In this abstract, we review the general geology of the region, the stratigraphy, and discuss the implications for the sequence of volcanic and tectonic activity in this region.
