Morphological and Spectral Characterization of Lunar Regolith Breakdown due to Water Ice
The Planetary Science JournalRemote sensing observations of the Moon suggest that the lunar polar regolith environment is affected by several natural processes that may cause the regolith in these regions to become more porous and fine particulate.

Differential thermal analysis of lunar soil simulant [PDF]
Differential thermal analysis of a lunar soil simulant, 'Minnesota Lunar Simulant-1' (MLS-1) was performed. The MLS-1 was tested in as-received form (in glass form) and with another silica.
