Scientific paper

Mass movement phenomena are important indicators of crustal stability and strength. The shape and morphology of deposits may also be related to the mobility of debris, and potentially the degree to which volatiles are entrained. One of the largest mass movements in the solar system has been identified on Io on the north flank of Euboea Montes (-48 deg, 335 deg). Using stereo Voyager images we map the detailed morphology of this landslide deposit, and using a digital stereogrammetry procedure developed at LPI, we map the topography and dimensions of this deposit to study its properties and compare this deposit to other examples of mass movement on other planets.
