Lunar Boulder Fields as Indicators of Recent Tectonic Activity
The Planetary Science JournalWrinkle ridges are the predominant tectonic structure on the nearside lunar maria. Although lunar wrinkle ridge formation began as early as ∼3.9–4.0 Ga, recent investigations have identified wrinkle ridges in the lunar maria that were tectonically active

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 A map of the average atomic number of lunar rock and soil can be used to differentiate lithology and soil type on the lunar surface. This paper establishes a linear relationship between the average atomic number of lunar rock or soil and the flux of ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Magma Activity History and Formation Mechanism of Lacus Somniorum, the Largest Lunar Lacus
The Planetary Science JournalLacus Somniorum, the largest lacus-type volcanic plain on the Moon, lies outside major impact basins and provides a key test case for understanding nonbasin mare formation.

Radar Perspective of the Aristarchus Pyroclastic Deposit and Implications for Future Missions
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Aristarchus plateau represents one of the most complex volcanic provinces on the lunar surface and is host to the largest pyroclastic deposit on the Moon.

On the equipotential surface hypothesis of lunar maria floors [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1999 The equipotential surface hypothesis suggests that lunar maria floors lie on a surface parallel to the selenoid. This is examined using the spherical harmonic representations of the Clementine topography and Lunar Prospector gravity data. It is demonstrated that the floors of both circular and noncircular maria significantly deviate from an ...

The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The current understanding of crew health maintenance is founded upon decades of physiological research conducted in terrestrial spaceflight analogues and in low Earth orbit, particularly on the International Space Station. However, as we progress towards the Lunar Gateway and interplanetary missions, it is imperative that the tools employed to
