Nonuniform cratering of the Moon and a revised crater chronology of the inner Solar System [PDF]
Icarus, 2011 Abstract We model the cratering of the Moon and terrestrial planets from the present knowledge of the orbital and size distribution of asteroids and comets in the inner Solar System, in order to refine the crater chronology method. Impact occurrences, locations, velocities and incidence angles are calculated semi-analytically, and scaling laws are ...

Pacing Early Mars Sedimentary Rock Formation
Geophysical Research LettersMars' sedimentary rock record documents past surface and/or near‐surface liquid water. However, paleoclimate models struggle to explain conditions warm enough for past liquid water.

Elysium Planitia lava flows: Crater count chronology and geological implications [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2000 Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Viking images allow analysis of chronological and geological relations among lava flows in southern Elysium Planitia, based on crater populations. MGS and Viking images clearly show morphological features of lava flows with some extremely sparsely cratered young flow units atop somewhat older surfaces.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Crater production on Titan and surface chronology [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Context. Impact crater counts on the Saturnian satellites are a key element for estimating their surface ages and placing constraints on their impactor population. The Cassini mission radar observations allowed crater counts to be made on the surface of Titan, revealing an unexpected scarcity of impact craters that show high levels of degradation. Aims.

Self-Secondaries Formed by Cold Spot Craters on the Moon
Remote Sensing, 2021 Self-secondaries are a population of background secondaries, and they have been observed on top of impact melt and ballistically emplaced ejecta deposits on various planetary bodies.

Ground-Penetrating Radar Modeling Across the Jezero Crater Floor
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 This article assesses how the ground-penetrating radar RIMFAX will image the crater floor at the Mars 2020 landing site, where lithological compositions and stratigraphic relationships are under discussion prior to mission operation.
