Topography on Ganymede derived from photoclinometryA fundamental limitation in the quantitative analysis of planetary geomorphology and structural geology results from the absense of topographic data. Among the studies that might be addressed, were such data available, are volumetric and slope relationships of Ionian volcanics, fracture and annealing processes in icy crusts on Europa and Ganymede, and evaluation of viscous relaxation as a means of degrading landforms on Europea, Ganymede, and Callisto. A technique for acquiring topographic data on the Galilean satellites using photoclinometry was developed and applied.
