New maps of global geologic provinces and tectonic plates: global tectonics data and QGIS project file

The global tectonics data compilation is a set of raster and vector data that are useful for investigating tectonics past and present.  The datasets are useful on their own or can be used in GIS software, which includes the QGIS project file for convenience.  The datasets include our new models for tectonic plate boundaries and deformation zones, geologic provinces and orogens.  Additional datasets include earthquake and volcano locations, geochronology, topography, magnetics, gravity, and seismic velocity. The global tectonics collection is suitable for research and educational purposes.

Geologic Map of Ceres [Dawn Mission] - Global dataset based on the 15 individual quadrangle maps

Background: Between 2011 and 2018, the NASA Dawn spacecraft visited asteroid (4) Vesta and dwarf planet (1) Ceres to investigate the surfaces of both protoplanets through optical and hyperspectral imaging and their composition through gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy from orbit. For both Vesta and Ceres, a geologic mapping investigation was realized based on optical and hyperspectral data as well as a photogrammetrically derived digital terrain model. For the global mapping investigation, mappers employed Geographic Information System (GIS) software to map 15 quadrangles. The results were published as individual map sheets alongside research papers discussing the geologic evolution. The style of collaborative mapping to produce a consistent global view represented by individual quadrangle maps is comparably new despite abundantly available mapping experiences. Ongoing data acquisition during mapping created considerable challenges for the coordination and homogenization of mapping results. To handle this issue simultaniously to the active mission phase as best as possible a GIS-based environment was needed in order to conduct one homogenous dataset (w.r.t. geometrical and visual character) that represents one geologically-consistent map at the end. Therefore, the mapping team was supported by an predefined mapping template which was generated in the proprietary ArcGIS environment. The template contains different layers (called feature classes) for the different object/geomoetry types and contains predefined attribute values as well as cartographic symbols. The cartographic symbols follow international standards as far as possible. The colours for the geological units refering to established colour values used in geologic maps, e.g., standardized planetary maps generated by USGS, but considering individual needs and requests within the mapping team, too. The data product pubished here based on the mentioned GIS-based template and represents the merged global GIS-dataset of the 15 individually conducted geological maps of Ceres within the Dawn Mission. The detailed descriptions of all those scientific interpretions are published in the papers listed within the reference section. Based on team-internal decisions the dataset is provided within the properitary format of ESRIs ArcGIS environment. However, in order to use the data product also outside this software environment, single shapefiles with additional information about the symbology are also included. All available data are available within the compressed folder and the readme-file gives some informative remarks for the useage of the data Additional remark: The data set provided here does not represent a holistic (in term of topological and scientifical) unification of the 15 individual mapping data as primarily geometric and content-related inconsistencies at quadrangle boundaries prohibited a unified compilation. On the one side, this is due to the fact that the the aim of the mapping project was not to produce a uniform global map, but rather to gain a first impression of the geology of Ceres and publish associated scientific papers. On the other side, that the geological mapping project ran parallel to the regular mission phase, and a finalizing review process for creating a global geological dataset wasn´t scheduled in the mission planning. This deficiency cannot be remedied simply by merging topological missmatches or changing the visualisation. Rather it will require ongoing and detailed scientific discussion of the interpretation results, which could be solved within an updating version of the global map.
