Call for Submission: Atlas of Planetary Geological Maps: tools and approaches to reconstruct the geological evolution of planets The Europlanet-GMAP infrastructure opens a call for contributions to realise and publish the Atlas of Planetary Geological Maps. The Atlas aims to provide examples of geological maps of planets and small bodies to highlight different mapping approaches […]
The OpenCraterTool is a planetary mapping aid provided as Open Source plugin for QGIS. It helps meaasuring impact crater size-frequency distributions, and estimate planetary surface ages. The paper describing the tool is available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2023.105687 The OpenCraterTool is now listed in the official QGIS repository: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/opencratertool/ Its code is available on GitHub https://github.com/thomasheyer/OpenCraterTool https://github.com/europlanet-gmap/OpenCraterTool
The GMAP Winter School 2023 will take place online, semi-synchronously in the period 30 January 2023 – 3 February 2023 Announcements, updates, and registration on: https://www.planetarymapping.eu Registration will open on: 15 November 2023
Brand-new documentation for the Mappy QGIS plugin has been recently published and hosted by ReadTheDocs. Development of the plugin is done over the GitHub repository. If you find any issue with the documentation or the plugin itself get in touch by opening a new issue.
The next Planetary Mapping Winter School will be held online 7th – 11th February 2022. The school will be dedicated to the process of creating planetary geologic maps on the Moon, Mercury and Mars. The registration is now open. The registration deadline is January 31st 2022 The registrations is free. We will try to accomodate […]
Submission deadline is 31 May 2022. Remote Sensing journal will be hosting a new Special Issue entitled “Planetary Geologic Mapping and Remote Sensing” edited by Prof. Dr. Kaichang Di, Prof. Dr. Long Xiao and Dr. Jessica Flahaut. Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following topics: planetary geologic mapping; planetary geomorphologic mapping; photogrammetric […]
We would be happy to know any project that was inspired or supported by GMAP either thanks to the first Planetary Mapping Winter School or by our tools or datasets. Recording community-driven project is important for us to show the impact of our work on planetary enthusiasts and professional scientists. https://forms.gle/czcoQwCdUF4uv8oz8 It is of great […]
In this seminar, part of the LPI Seminar Series 2021, Carolyn van der Bogert describes the development, update, and application of the lunar cratering chronology and gives examples of how this powerful tool has changed our view of the Moon and the Solar System. The lunar cratering chronology is a tool for connecting lunar geological […]
The datasets used during the first Planetary Mapping Winter School were made publicly available for anybody wanting to replicate the practical activities. The related video material, recorded live during the winter school sessions, is already available on this page, which we recently updated with the links to the respective datasets. The Winter School material is […]
Carolyn van der Bogert and the GMAP team recently presented a poster titled “Geological Mapping of Lunar Resources and Landing Sites” at Space Resources Week 2021. Remotely sensed data of the lunar surface and modern planetary mapping techniques can provide the right tools for identifying potential resources and for landing site characterization. Discover more details in the […]
