“…Data from future missions, as well as current and past mission data, will be available to the international community through long-term archives such as the NASA Planetary Data System (Wang et al 2009) or the ESA Planetary Science Archive (Heather et al 2008) and publicly available tools exist for processing and analyzing planetary data sets, such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) (Gaddis et al 1997;Anderson et al 2004), for which tutorial documentation is available from a variety of sources (e.g. USGS 2010;ESA 2007ESA , 2008aPDS 2009).…”

The knowledge of Martian geology has increased enormously in the last 40 yr. Several missions orbiting or roving Mars have revolutionized our understanding of its evolution and geological features, which in several ways are similar to Earth, but are extremely different in many respects. The impressive dichotomy between the two Martian hemispheres is most likely linked to its impact cratering history, rather than internal dynamics such as on Earth. Mars' volcanism has been extensive, very longlived and rather constant in its setting. Water was available in large quantities in the distant past of Mars, when a magnetic field and more vigorous tectonics were active. Exogenic forces have been shaping Martian landscapes and have led to a plethora of landscapes shaped by wind, water and ice. Mars' dynamical behavior continues, with its climatic variation affecting climate and geology until very recent times. This paper tries to summarize major highlights in Mars' Geology, and points to deeper and more extensive sources of important scientific contributions and future exploration.
