Encyclopedia of Planetary Landforms contains a description and interpretation of all known planetary landforms that have been discovered on the planetary bodies in our Solar System. The content is separated into entries for each planetary landform. All entries are based on literature reviews, using NASA/ESA/JAXA imagery and original general and thematic maps of the particular landform. Such a wide variety of landforms show how exotic these features could be from a terrestrial point of view, but at the same time emphasizes that the same processes will result in similar morphology, independent...

This book approaches geological, geomorphological and topographical mapping from the point in the workflow at which science-ready datasets are available. Though there have been many individual projects on dynamic maps and online GISs, in which coding and data processing are given precedence over cartographic principles, cartography is more than "just" processing and displaying spatial data. However, there are currently no textbooks on this rapidly changing field, and methods tend to be shared informally.

Addressing this gap in the literature, the respective chapters outline many...
