Add to ORKGWe have investigated the mineralogy of the Martian dark regions by analysis of the pyroxene Fe(2+) absorption band near 1.0 micron in a set of VIS/NIR reflectance spectral images. The data used for these analyses were selected from a larger set, extending from 0.44 to 1.02 microns, obtained during the close 1988 opposition and covering substantially all of Mars south of 40 degrees N. This data set is being used in regional mapping of spectral parameters related to surface mineralogy. Martian dark regions are of interest in reconstructing the geologic history because they contain exposures of unaltered or little-altered basaltic crustal material; mapping differences in composition among dark regions could reveal regional or temporal variatio...
