Geologic Map of the V-1 Snegurochka Planitia Quadrangle: Progress ReportGeologic mapping of Snegurochka Planitia (V-1) reveals a complex stratigraphy of tectonic and volcanic features that can provide insight into the geologic history of Venus and Archean Earth [1,2] including 1) crustal thickening environments and processes, 2) the nature of diapirism, 3) the nature and origin of deformation belts, and 4) the origin and context of regional plains-forming volcanism. This abstract presents our progress in mapping the spatial and stratigraphic relationships of these features in the region surrounding the north pole of Venus.
