Valley networks and watershed reconstruction data for Alba Mons, Mars

The data archived here include specific results from geologic mapping and hydrological modeling of surface run-off at the Martian volcano Alba Mons associated with the publication "Mapping fluvial valleys on the flanks of Alba Mons: Implications for Amazonian watershed development in northern Tharsis, Mars" submitted to the Earth and Space Science. These results were generated from analyses of imaging and topographic datasets acquired from spacecraft orbiting Mars, and were used to provide descriptions and quantitative characteristics of hydrological systems on Alba Mons. Data here include: Figure 4 (three cross-sectional profiles of valleys, CSV text data file), Figure 5 (valley mapping from THEMIS and CTX, ESRI shapefile and an interpolation of drainage density based on the manually mapped valleys, geotiff), Figure 11 (comparison of regional slope and drainage density at a 50 km grid, ASCII grid), and Figure 13 (watershed reconstructions described in the paper, ESRI shapefile). More details of the study can be found in the publication.CitationWhen using these data, please cite the following with the appropriate version number:Scheidt, S.P., Crown, D.A., and Berman, D.C.
