INTRODUCTION

Syrtis Major Planurn is a low relief shield volcano,

1982; Pinet and Chevrel, 1990], they are thought to contain west of the Isidis impactbasin. At least two eruptiveperiods exposed bedrock or mobile material that is locally derived are recognizedin the surface morphologyof the plateau: an [Soderblom, 1992]. Syrtis Major is therefore a strong early phaserepresentedby a ridgedplain unit with no evidence candidate for detailed analyses with remote observationsto of flow fronts or scarpsand a later phase characterizedby determinethe compositionof Martian volcanic material. extensive flows emanating from two central caldera with Reflectancespectraat visibleto near-infraredwavelengths fissuresand lava tubeson the shield flanks [Schaber, 1982].

Crater densitiesindicate an age of formationas post-heavy bombardment, similar to other low relief shield volcanos in the

easternhemisphereof Mars [Barlow, 1988]. These volcanic regionsare in clear contrastto the large volcanicconstructsin the western hemisphereof Mars (i.e., Tharsis province) and suggest a fundamental change in the nature of volcanic processesat this time.

SyrtisMajor has beenrecognizedfor manyyearsbecauseit is a persistent low albedo feature on the planet [e.g., Antoniadi, 1930] but is notablebecauseit is known to change in albedoand shapeseasonally. In general,the easternborder of Syrtis Major changesmore drastically than the western border [Slipher, 1962]. Syrtis Major has been observedto brighten and shrink in size after major dust storms then increasein size and darken during the ensuingmonths. This indicates that the processesof deposition and erosion are occurringwith greatregularity.Becauseequatorialdarkregions

Absoluteradiometricaccuracyis estimatedto be 10% [Erard et al., 1991]. Detailed examination of calibrated ISM data from Instrument Characteristics the Isidis-SyrtisMajor regionindicatesthat there are small (1Detaileddescriptions of the ISM instrumentare providedby 3 %) systematic offset errors in addition to radiometric Bibring et al., [1989, 1990] and Erard et al., [1991].

Therefore

the even channels

used which resultsin 64-channelspectrafor each point on the surface. The signal to noise of the even channel data is extremelyhigh and averagesgreaterthan 500:1 for data from 0.77 to 1.51 txm and 1.68 to 2.6 txm. The detectorsensitivity drops off slightly at the extremes of the wavelength ranges used here but only drops below 100:1 at wavelengthslonger than 2.6 •m.

The constancy in band minimum in the Isidis Basin and crateredhighlands, as well as the Syrtis Major volcanic plateau suggest that the primary mineralogyof each area is relatively homogeneous.

This is in agreementwith the theminimumvalue in the cubicspline. Bandareaandminimum observations of Pinet and Chevrel [1990] that indicated the are the best indicatorsof surfacemineralogy. For Mars, band central regions of Syrtis Major had the strongest relative minima less than 0.9 Ixm are anticipatedfor surfacesdominated absorptions in 0.91/0.73, 0.98/0.73, and 1.02/0.73 by ferric minerals,while bandminimagreaterthan0.9 Ixm are ratios. Although variations in band area can be related to several anticipatedfor surfacesdominatedby ferrousminerals. Ferric mineralsare most commonlyassociatedwith heavily weathered mineralogic and surface phenomena,the primary difference in soils that are typical of bright terrain [Singer, 1985] while band areabetweenthe Isidis basin and the volcanic plateauis a ferrous minerals are more strongly associatedwith unaltered mineralogic effect. The larger band areas associatedwith the volcanic plateau reflect the presence of mafic minerals. crustal components. The four spectralvariableswere computedfor each ISM However, on the plateau there is an additional level of pixel. Imagesof the spectralvariablesare coregistered to the variation, compared to the image of band minimum, that is Viking orbiter digital photomosaics MC13SW and MC13SE probably unrelated to simple differences in mineralogy. The using ISM pixel locationsdeterminedfrom the orbital and specific causes of these variations are likely to be a scanningparametersof the spacecraft. The locationswere combinationof grain size and mixing. The spectral slope variable, shown in Plate lc, shows the further refined using topography[Erard et al., 1991]. The images are then superimposedon the digital photomosaics greatest complexity. The bright areas in the Isidis basin are using a red, green,blue (RGB) transform.

Areas with short componentof the measuredradiation, it will result in a larger wavelengthband minima near 0.86 Ixm are representedin apparent slope for low-albedo surfaces compared to highgreen,and areaswith long wavelengthbandminima near 0.98 albedo surfaces. Therefore low-albedo surfaces would have ,amarerepresented in red. This divisionis relatedto albedoand higher magnitude slopes than high-albedo surfaces, and the also surfacemorphology. High-albedoregionsof the Isidis magnitude of the slope would be negatively correlated with basin and crateredrim have short-wavelengthband minima, and albedo. Neither effects are observed in the ISM data. The low-albedo areas associatedwith the Syrtis Major volcanic scatterplot of albedo versus spectralslope shown in Figure 4 plateau have long-wavelengthband minima.

And, as can be seen in Plate lc, there is no major divisions.
