Description

These data accompany the manuscript, "Mountain Degradation Mechanisms on Io Based on Geologic Mapping of the Cocytus Montes Region from JunoCam Imagery".

Included is a .csv file, "Block_measurments_data_supplement.csv".  This file contains all measurements made of the population of crustal blocks sitting on top of the plateau adjacent to West Cocytus Mons. Longitude is given in 1-180° E positive format. Shadow length, block height, and block width are measured geodesically in kilometers, while block height is calculated from shadow length and solar incidence angle in degrees. Notes column denotes measurement uncertainties due to image resolution.

Also included are the shapefiles and basemap image associated with the geologic map presented in the manuscript, compressed in "Geologic_Map_Files.zip".  Shapefiles are included for geologic units, geologic contacts, structures, and diffuse deposits, as well as associated symbology (.lyrx files). The basemap image used for this map from the JunoCam flyby in PJ57 is also included ("JNCE_2023364_57C00022_V01.cocytus.cub").  Map units were drawn with a manual digitization technique at 1:500,000 scale (both map scale and drawing scale), using an orthographic projection centered at 60°N 30°E (stretching from 52-66° N, 11-39° E).
