A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Accurate Mapping and Evaluation of Small Impact Craters within the Lunar Landing Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters, as the most distinct lunar structural unit and geological structure, are marked on the Moon’s surface. For over a decade, researchers have focused on identifying and exploring large- to medium-sized impact craters on the surface of the ...

Crater morphology and morphometry on the Uranian satellites [PDF]

open access: yes
Fresh craters on the icy Uranian satellites exhibit a range of morphologies similar to craters on the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. The general structural features found in the craters are described.

Cratering Experiments on the Self Armoring of Coarse-Grained Granular Targets

open access: yes, 2012
Recently published crater statistics on the small asteroids 25143 Itokawa and 433 Eros show a significant depletion of craters below approx. 100 m in diameter.

Craters as sand traps: Dynamics, history, and morphology of modern sand transport in an active Martian dune field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Aeolian transport of sand is abundant on modern-day Mars, as revealed by remote sensing measurements of the motion of dunes, and of the meter-scale ripples that mantle them. We study a large-scale natural sand trap within the Meroe Patera dune field: a 1.

Effect of Adatom Energy on the Interfacial and Surface Morphology of Pulsed DC Sputtered Ruthenium Thin Films

open access: yesSurface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, we have analyzed the growth profile of ruthenium (Ru) thin films, deposited using pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique, by varying the sputtering voltages in the range of 150–420 V. The grazing incidence X‐ray reflectivity (GIXRR), time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS), and atomic ...

Identification of Lunar Craters in the Chang’e-5 Landing Region Based on Kaguya TC Morning Map

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters are extensively researched geological features that contribute to various aspects of lunar science, such as evaluating the model age, regolith thickness, etc. The method for identifying impact craters has gradually transitioned from manual

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Dome craters on Ganymede [PDF]

open access: yes
Voyager observations reveal impact craters on Ganymede that are characterized by the presence of broad, high albedo, topographic domes situated within a central pit. Fifty-seven craters with central domes were identified in images covering approx. 50% of
