Abstract

This study demonstrates that multi-parameter radar data enables discrimination of flow morphologies and ages through wavelength-scale roughness analysis. Age-backscatter correlations provide quantitative dating frameworks, while polarimetric analysis enables morphological and textural discrimination. These findings provide ground truth for interpreting radar signatures of volcanic terrains on Venus, supporting upcoming VERITAS and EnVision missions.
