Analysis of Surface Age Dating Techniques and Uncertainties through Comparison of Independently Determined Crater Size–Frequency Distributions at Two Lunar Landing Sites

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
This study compares differences in crater-count-based measurement techniques and determines lava flow ages for geologic context at two NASA Commercial Lunar Payloads Services (CLPS) landing sites.

Chronology, Local Stratigraphy, and Foreign Ejecta Materials at the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site: Constraints on the Provenance of Samples Returned From the Moon's Farside

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
China's Chang'e‐6 (CE‐6) mission has returned the first‐ever lunar farside samples from a mare plain on the southern Apollo basin floor. The crater statistics of the CE‐6 mare unit and the provenance of the samples are crucial in interpreting the CE‐6 ...

Orientale Basin as a Guide for Identifying Lunar Basin Datable Impact Melt and Assessing Impact Melt Differentiation

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Two fundamental questions face lunar scientists: (1) What is the absolute age of each lunar impact basin and thus the early impact flux curve? (2) To what degree did basin impact melt seas undergo differentiation? We compiled a 1:200,000-scale geological

Possible Anthropogenic Contributions to the LAMP-observed Surficial Icy Regolith within Lunar Polar Craters: A Comparison of Apollo and Starship Landings

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
This work assesses the potential of midsized and large human landing systems to deliver water from their exhaust plumes to cold traps within lunar polar craters.
