| Title | Mercury's Interior, Surface, and Surrounding Environment : Latest Discoveries |
| Author(s) | Clark, Pamela Elizabeth |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | VIII, 97 p. 54 illus., 44 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This SpringerBrief details the MESSENGER Mission, the findings of which present challenges to widely held conventional views and remaining mysteries surrounding the planet. The work answers the question of why Mercury is so dense, and the implications from geochemical data on its planetary formation. It summarizes imaging and compositional data from the terrestrial planet surface processes and explains the geologic history of Mercury.?? It also discusses the lack of southern hemisphere coverage. Our understanding of the planet Mercury has been in a transitional phase over the decades since Mariner 10. The influx of new data from the NASA MESSENGER Mission since it was??inserted into the orbit of Mercury in March of 2011 has greatly accelerated that shift. The combined compositional data of relatively high volatiles (S, K), relatively low refractories (Al, Ca), and low crustal iron, combined with an active, partially molten iron rich core, has major implications for Mercury and Solar System formation. From a scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this presents a comprehensive overview of the discoveries from the??ten-year MESSENGER mission |

| Title | Dynamic Planet : Mercury in the Context of its Environment |
| Author(s) | Clark, Pamela Elizabeth |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XVI, 220 p. 87 illus., 9 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | We are in a time of transition in our understanding of Mercury. Of particular interest here is the emerging picture of the planet as a system, with interactions between interior, surface, exosphere, and magnetosphere that have influenced and constrained the evolution of each part of the system. Previous books have emphasized the results of Mariner 10 and current ground-based measurements, with very little discussion of the nature and influence of the magnetosphere. This book will present the planet in the context of its surroundings, thus providing a foundation for the next major influx of information from Mercury and contributing to the planning for future missions |

| Title | Constant-Scale Natural Boundary Mapping to Reveal Global and Cosmic Processes |
| Author(s) | Clark, Pamela Elizabeth;Clark, Chuck |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2013. |
| Description | X, 116 p. 53 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Whereas conventional maps can be expressed as outward-expanding formulae with well-defined central features and relatively poorly defined edges, Constant Scale Natural Boundary (CSNB) maps have well-defined boundaries that result from natural processes and thus allow spatial and dynamic relationships to be observed in a new way useful to understanding these processes. CSNB mapping presents a new approach to visualization that produces maps markedly different from those produced by conventional cartographic methods. In this approach, any body can be represented by a 3D coordinate system. For a regular body, with its surface relatively smooth on the scale of its size, locations of features can be represented by definite geographic grid (latitude and longitude) and elevation, or deviation from the triaxial ellipsoid defined surface. A continuous surface on this body can be segmented, its distinctive regional terranes enclosed, and their inter-relationships defined, by using selected morphologically identifiable relief features (e.g., continental divides, plate boundaries, river or current systems). In this way, regions of distinction on a large, essentially spherical body can be mapped as two-dimensional ???facets??? with their boundaries representing regional to global-scale asymmetries (e.g., continental crust, continental and oceanic crust on the Earth, farside original thicker crust and nearside thinner impact punctuated crust on the Moon). In an analogous manner, an irregular object such as an asteroid, with a surface that is rough on the scale of its size, would be logically segmented along edges of its impact-generated faces. Bounded faces are imagined with hinges at occasional points along boundaries, resulting in a foldable ???shape model.??? Thus, bounded faces grow organically out of the most compelling natural features. Obvious boundaries control the map???s extremities, and peripheral regions are not dismembered or grossly distorted as in conventional map projections. 2D maps and 3D models grow out of an object???s most obvious face or terrane ???edges,??? instead of arbitrarily by imposing a regular grid system or using regularly shaped facets to represent an irregular surface |
