Emily, how did you decide to choose this topic for your thesis? Is it available online? Thank you.
I went to my archives, blew the dust off the CDs, and uploaded the text and figures to a site where you can download them if you really care. It wasn't ever finished far enough to be ready to be submitted for publication, though it was being formatted as a JGR paper, so it's very much a draft, but have at it! It's not doing anybody any good not being read. It's questionable though whether it will do anybody any good being read -- it's only been "peer reviewed" by my advisors.
The topic was suggested by my advisor. I did the mapping work with Jim and Sasha (though I had to teach myself how to do the GIS stuff with lots of help from various tech support people), then there's a whole section on geophysics that I did with Marc Parmentier.
The paper: Understanding the tectonic history of the Baltis Vallis region, Venus, from observations of canali topography (PDF, 60 k)
The figures (PDF) (WARNING! 14 MB!!)

This does explain your image symbol, at least.
I figured nobody would understand what the canale was if I tried to stick one in the space allotted for an icon; those gorgeous Venus craters are second best!
