description: Dataset for: Bedding scale correlation on Mars in western Arabia Terra A.M. Annex et al. Data Product Overview This repository contains all source data for the publication. Below is a description of each general data product type, software that can load the data, and a list of the file names along with the short description of the data product. <strong>HiRISE Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).</strong> HiRISE DEMs produced using the Ames Stereo Pipeline are in geotiff format ending with ‘*X_0_DEM-adj.tif’, the “X” prefix denotes the spatial resolution of the data product in meters. Geotiff files are able to be read by free GIS software like QGIS. <strong>HiRISE map-projected imagery (DRGs).</strong> Map-projected HiRISE images produced using the Ames Stereo Pipeline are in geotiff format ending with ‘*0_Y_DRG-cog.tif’, the “Y” prefix denotes the spatial resolution of the data product in centimeters. Geotiff files are able to be read by free GIS software like QGIS. The DRG files are formatted as COG-geotiffs for enhanced compression and ease of use. <strong>3D Topography files (.ply).</strong> Traingular Mesh versions of the HiRISE/CTX topography data used for 3D figures in “.ply” format. Meshes are greatly geometrically simplified from source files. Topography files can be loaded in a variety of open source tools like ParaView and Meshlab. Textures can be applied using embedded texture coordinates. <strong>3D Geological Model outputs (.vtk)</strong> VTK 3D file format files of model output over the spatial domain of each study site. VTK files can be loaded by ParaView open source software. The “block” files contain the model evaluation over a regular grid over the model extent. The “surfaces” files contain just the bedding surfaces as interpolated from the “block” files using the marching cubes algorithm. <strong>Geological Model geologic maps (geologic_map.tif).</strong> Geologic maps from geological models are standard geotiffs readable by conventional GIS software. The maximum value for each geologic map is the “no-data” value for the map. Geologic maps are calculated at a lower resolution than the topography data for storage efficiency. <strong>Beds Geopackage File (.gpkg).</strong> Geopackage vector data file containing all mapped layers and associated metadata including dip corrected bed thickness as well as WKB encoded 3D linestrings representing the sampled topography data to which the bedding orientations were fit. Geopackage files can be read using GIS software like QGIS and ArcGIS as well as the OGR/GDAL suite. A full description of each column in the file is provided below.
