Reassessment of the Volumes of Sediment Sources and Sinks on Venus

Reassessment of the Volumes of Sediment Sources and Sinks on Venus

The dominant source of sediment on Venus is thought to be impact cratering, wherein crater ejecta is redistributed across the planet by winds. Here we provide a refined global sediment budget for Venus by mapping and quantifying the volume of sediment from impact craters observable in Magellan data...
