In Islandia, VERITAS: Characterization of Venus Surface Analogs

At the intersection of the Atlantic mid-ocean ridge and a mantle hotspot, Iceland hosts a variety of volcanic and tectonic features similar in morphology and rock type to those observed on Venus. In July of 2023, the VERITAS science team and collaborators conducted a multipronged field analog campai...

Description
Summary:At the intersection of the Atlantic mid-ocean ridge and a mantle hotspot, Iceland hosts a variety of volcanic and tectonic features similar in morphology and rock type to those observed on Venus. In July of 2023, the VERITAS science team and collaborators conducted a multipronged field analog campaign to (i) serve as a development and test platform for processing and analysis of Venus and Venus-analog data, and (ii) create a library of surface features to inform interpretation of past and upcoming Venus data.
