Crustal heterogeneity of the moon viewed from the Galileo SSI camera: Lunar sample calibrations and compositional implications [PDF]

Summaries are given of the spectral calibration, compositional parameters, nearside color, and limb and farside color of the Moon. The farside of the Moon, a large area of lunar crust, is dominated by heavily cratered terrain and basin deposits that ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Measurement of the optical properties of lunar rocks in the transition zone, resulting from observations made by Lunokhod 2 [PDF]

Photometric measurements were carried out directly on the lunar surface with the aid of a calibration device, a plate with fields of different brightness, placed in the field of view of the panoramic telephotometers.

The effects of the target material properties and layering on the crater chronology: the case of Raditladi and Rachmaninoff basins on Mercury

, 2011
In this paper we present a crater age determination of several terrains associated with the Raditladi and Rachmaninoff basins. These basins were discovered during the first and third MESSENGER flybys of Mercury, respectively.

LROC NAC-derived Meter-scale Topography of the Moon’s South Polar Landing Sites: Digital Terrain Models and Their Quality Assessments

The Planetary Science Journal
High-quality digital terrain models (DTMs) are essential for lunar polar missions, aiding mission planning and surface operations. The horizontal resolution and vertical accuracy of DTMs are generally limited by factors such as source image resolution ...

Lunar Outgassing, Transient Phenomena and The Return to The Moon, I: Existing Data

, 2007
Herein the transient lunar phenomena (TLP) report database is subjected to a discriminating statistical filter robust against sites of spurious reports, and produces a restricted sample that may be largely reliable.

A fractal pattern of hierarchical genetic population structure in mixed stocks across fish segregated by dams revealed by genomic resources for curimba Prochilodus lineatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Genomic resources, new microsatellite markers and a novel observation of a fractal pattern in the genetic population structure are presented for curimba, Prochilodus lineatus, a freshwater migratory model species of South America. Our main goals were to investigate the presence of mixed fish stocks and the effects of damming‐induced ...

Identification and quantification of minerals within Apollo samples using LWIR spectroscopy

Geo-spatial Information Science
The mineral composition of the lunar surface is a critical scientific objective, as it provides key insights into the evolution of the Moon. For instance, the variations in Mg-Fe composition of pyroxene solid solution could reveal the Moon’s crustal ...
