This site contains the atlas of known sinuous rilles, till 2022, on two planetary bodies: the Moon and Venus.
The atlas is the result of Davide Defilippis Master's thesis in GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF THE EARTH AND PLANETS at the International Research School of Planetary Sciences, University of Chieti and Pescara (Italy).
Thesis results were published at the 54th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2023 (LPSC2023) in Texas.
The atlas consists of two shapefiles and two excel files, respectively for the Moon and for Venus.
The shapefiles are GIS ready and contain a list of all sinuous rilles observed on the surface indicated by a unique ID. Each sinuous rille is characterized by its location and various morphometric measurements: length, distance, sinuosity index, width, depth, and coordinates (GCS).
The excel files contain all the measurements and coordinates above, plus various ratios for statistical purposes: width/length and width/depth.
