Mars and GEOgraphy

• GEOgraphy and GEOlogy:

• The disciplines that study the earth
• Dr. Tyner critiqued for her work on lunar cartography
• Dr. Parker told his interest in Mars not suitable for a geologist

• Definitions of geography:

• Nature-society interactions
• No people there yet …
• Many missions: orbiters, landers, rovers
• Areal differentiation
• Students and researchers need a mental map
• I'll share my regionalization today
• Spatial patterns and processes
• Spatial analysis is a common task on Mars
• Remote sensing, GIS, cartography, spatial statistics
• Physical study of Earth as the home of humanity
• The solar system as the home of humanity?
• Most geographers of Mars are physical geographers
