Abstract :
We present an Internet-based GIS to support analogue research activities in Canada through the Canadian analogue research network. The proposed system manages all geospatial data concerning the analogue sites and shares information for the scientist community. The main use of the GIS is to help comparative studies between terrestrial analogue data and the Moon and Mars information.
