Hey, Liz. I use ARC/INFO (mostly the command line) for my Martian
profiles, though I used free tools to rebuild MOLA (
http://rocky.ess.washington.edu/uwmola/ ). If you want a free tool, try
JMARS ( http://jmars.asu.edu/ ). If you have more questions, we have a
lot of (vicarious) experience with Martian topography up here in Johnson
Hall.
