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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Astronomy,$x2191-9100 606 $aGeographical information systems 606 $aPlanetology 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13000 606 $aPlanetology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aGeographical information systems. 615 0$aPlanetology. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography. 615 24$aPlanetology. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a520.223 700 $aClark$b Pamela Elizabeth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0943542 702 $aClark$b Chuck$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438121003321 996 $aConstant-Scale Natural Boundary Mapping to Reveal Global and Cosmic Processes$92129461 997 $aUNINA
