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.

A Goniometric System for Photometric and Polarization Measurements of Planetary Regolith Analogs
Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Planetary Surface Texture Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is a facility for the study of the photometric and polarization behavior of regolith analogs using an ∼1.5‐m‐radius arc goniometer system. This system characterizes the photometric and polarization response of granular materials (planetary ...

Evaluating Seismic Ambient Noise Techniques for Detecting Ice‐Bearing Rocks on the Moon
Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract One of the primary objectives of upcoming lunar missions is to locate ice‐bearing rocks at the South Pole. While evidence for their presence exists, the exact distribution and quantity remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluate the potential of seismic ambient noise techniques—including seismic interferometry, H/V spectral ratios ...
