Venus Crater Database

This web page leads to a database of images and information about the 900
or so impact craters on the surface of Venus. The database was compiled by
Robert Herrick (herrick@lpi.usra.edu).
Please read the README file if you are going to use
the database extensively. It has descriptions, references, acknowledgements
and caveats regarding the database. If you use the database for research, I do
ask that you reference the appropriate work as described in the
README file. If you find an obvious error, please
let me know about it. The database and its description can be downloaded in
various formats (see below).
