Recognition of landslides in lunar impact craters [PDF]
European Journal of Remote Sensing, 2018 Landslides have been observed on several planets and minor bodies of the solar System, including the Moon. Notwithstanding different types of slope failures have been studied on the Moon, a detailed lunar landslide inventory is still pending. Undoubtedly,

New Lunar Crater Production Function Based on High-Resolution Images
Remote Sensing, 2023 The lunar crater production function describes the general pattern of the size–frequency distribution of craters on the lunar surface, and it is the foundation of the surface dating method via crater counting.

Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017 Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence ...

Automatic Mapping of Small Lunar Impact Craters Using LRO‐NAC Images
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Impact craters are the most common feature on the Moon’s surface. Crater size–frequency distributions provide critical insight into the timing of geological events, surface erosion rates, and impact fluxes.

Survival of Ancient Lunar Water Affected by Topographic Degradation of Old, Large Complex Craters
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Lunar water is redistributed by various processes. Topographic diffusion affects the transport of water and contributes to its preservation in subsurface layers.

Lunar Pit Craters Presumed to be the Entrances of Lava Caves by Analogy to the Earth Lava Tube Pits [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2014 Lava caves could be useful as outposts for the human exploration of the Moon. Lava caves or lava tubes are formed when the external surface of the lava flows cools more quickly to make a hardened crust over subsurface lava flows.

Lunar Crater Identification in Digital Images [PDF]
The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences, 2021 AbstractIt is often necessary to identify a pattern of observed craters in a single image of the lunar surface and without any prior knowledge of the camera’s location. This so-called “lost-in-space” crater identification problem is common in both crater-based terrain relative navigation (TRN) and in automatic registration of scientific imagery.
