ISPRS 2003 Utilizing GIS in Martian Impact Crater Studies

The Mars Crater Morphology Consortium was formed in 1997 to facilitate exchange of martian impact crater data among researchers through standardizing nomenclature, integrating crater databases into one community-accessible GIS-based system, encouraging collaborations among researchers, and organization of Mars crater-related workshops and conferences. This paper reports on the nomenclature system we have recommended for use with martian impact crater ejecta morphologies and the status of merging existing crater datasets into one GIS-based system.
