Scientific paper
Images of the Venus surface provided by the Magellan mission make it possible to see the fine-scale features diagnostic of weathering, erosion, and deposition. These include ejecta deposits extending up to 1000 km to the west of several impact craters, windblown deposits, features containing both obstacles and a source of particulate material, and evidence for degradation by atmosphere-surface interactions and mass movements. Initial Magellan observations pertaining to the nature, rate, and history of surficial processes are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on radar imaging, but results from radiometry and altimetry observations are also discussed.
