Scientific paper

The goals of this investigation were to determine the geological characteristics of aeolian features on Venus and to relate the features to the patterns of atmospheric circulation and the general geology where aeolian features occur. This study utilized a global data base of more than 5000 aeolian features that includes their morphologic classification and geographic location. Although the primary aeolian features studied were various wind streaks, other features include dune fields and possible yardangs. The origin and evolution of these features were studied and the potential sources of windblown sediments were assessed. In addition, this study involved geologic quadrangle mapping on Venus, as part of a NASA U.S. Geological Survey project.
