A Global Geologic Map of Pluto

The flyby of Pluto in 2015 by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft returned high-quality images that revealed a diverse range of terrains with disparate morphologies and crater spatial densities, implying a complex geological history. This presentation focuses on the first draft of a global geologic map of Pluto for the more than 75% of Pluto’s surface that was imaged by New Horizons, to be published by the USGS.
