Abstract
The recently selected NASA VERITAS and DAVINCI missions, the ESA
EnVision, the Roscosmos Venera-D will open a new era in the exploration
of Venus. One of the key targets of the future orbiting and in-situ
investigations of Venus is the identification of volcanically active
areas on the planet. The study of the areas characterized by recent or
ongoing volcano-tectonic activity can inform us on how volcanism and
tectonism are currently evolving on Venus. Following this key target,
the manuscript by Brossier et al. (2022)
(https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GL099765 ) extends the successful
approach and methodology used by previous works to Ganis Chasma in Atla
Regio. We comment here on the main results of the manuscript published
by Brossier et al. (2022)
(https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GL099765)
and discuss the important implications of their work for the future
orbiting and in-situ investigation of Venus. Their results add further
lines of evidence indicating possibly recent volcanism on Venus.
