The Population of Young Craters on the Moon: New Catalog and Spatial and Temporal Analysis

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present a new catalog of the Moon’s rayed and rocky craters from 5 to 130 km in diameter. Using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the JAXA Kaguya/Selene missions, we identify 571 unique craters with albedo, maturity, and/or thermophysical

The Effect of Antecedent Topography on Complex Crater Formation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Impact craters that form on every planetary body provide a record of planetary surface evolution. On heavily cratered surfaces, new craters that form often overlap antecedent craters, but it is unknown how the presence of antecedent craters alters impact

Multiple Overspill Flood Channels from Young Craters Require Surface Melting and Hundreds of Meters of Midlatitude Ice Late in Mars’s History

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Mars’s tadpole craters are small, young craters whose crater rims are incised by one or more exit breaches but lack visible inlets. The tadpole-forming climate records the poorly understood drying of Mars since the Early Hesperian.

Ray and Halo Impact Craters on Ganymede: Fingerprint for Decoding Ganymede's Crustal Structure

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
Impact craters are a unique tool not only for inferring ages of planetary surfaces and examining geological processes, but also for exploring subsurface properties.
