• Crustal Porosity of Lunar Impact Basins 

      Wahl, D.ORCIDiD; Wieczorek, M. A.ORCIDiD; Wünnemann, K.; Oberst, J. (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020-04-18)
      Lateral variations in bulk density and porosity of the upper lunar highland crust are mapped using a high‐resolution Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) gravity field model and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) ...
    • Degradation of Small Simple and Large Complex Lunar Craters: Not a Simple Scale Dependence 

      Riedel, ChristianORCIDiD; Minton, David A.ORCIDiD; Michael, GregoryORCIDiD; Orgel, CsillaORCIDiD; van der Bogert, Carolyn H.ORCIDiD; Hiesinger, HaraldORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020-04-20)
      The crater record of a planetary surface unit is often analyzed by its cumulative size‐frequency distribution (CSFD). Measuring CSFDs involves traditional approaches, such as traditional crater counting (TCC) and buffered ...
    • Global Drivers and Transport Mechanisms of Lunar Rockfalls 

      Bickel, V. T.ORCIDiD; Aaron, J.ORCIDiD; Manconi, A.ORCIDiD; Loew, S.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021-10-18)
      The long‐ and short‐term drivers and transport mechanisms of lunar rockfalls are currently not well understood, but could provide valuable information about the geologic processes that still shape the surface of the Moon ...
    • Is There a Semi‐Molten Layer at the Base of the Lunar Mantle? 

      Walterová, MichaelaORCIDiD; Běhounková, MarieORCIDiD; Efroimsky, MichaelORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023-06-29)
      Abstract

      Parameterised by the Love number k2 and the tidal quality ...

    • Studying the Global Spatial Randomness of Impact Craters on Mercury, Venus, and the Moon With Geodesic Neighborhood Relationships 

      Riedel, C.ORCIDiD; Michael, G. G.ORCIDiD; Orgel, C.ORCIDiD; Baum, C.; van der Bogert, C. H.ORCIDiD; Hiesinger, H.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021-03-29)
      Impact crater records on planetary surfaces are often analyzed for their spatial randomness. Generalized approaches such as the mean second closest neighbor distance (M2CND) and standard deviation of adjacent area (SDAA) ...
    • Timing and Origin of Compressional Tectonism in Mare Tranquillitatis 

      Frueh, T.ORCIDiD; Hiesinger, H.ORCIDiD; van der Bogert, C. H.ORCIDiD; Clark, J. D.; Watters, T. R.ORCIDiD; Schmedemann, N.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023-02-05)
      The lithosphere of the Moon has been deformed by tectonic processes for at least 4 billion years, resulting in a variety of tectonic surface features. Extensional large lunar graben formed during an early phase of net ...
