Five areas of study considered to be vital for progress in Venus geology are detailed, and their relevance to Magellan and post-Magellan missions is discussed. These issues include the study of the general style of endogenetic activity of Venus; the major geochemical types of crust material on Venus; the character and intensity of exogenic processes; and the structure of Venus' interior and its seismicity. It is established that the first two areas of inquiry will enjoy decisive advances from Magellan data. It is suggested that, while the third and fourth areas of study will benefit from data obtained through the Magellan mission, the establishment of a program of post-Magellan missions would provide additional vital information.
