A Thermal Origin to the Asymmetry of the Permanent Dust Cloud at the Moon
Abstract The Moon's surface, lacking an atmosphere, is continually bombarded by high‐speed micro‐meteoroids, creating a highly porous regolith composed of very fine grains. This regolith's porosity decreases with depth due to compression. Besides creating vapor and melt, micro‐meteoroid impacts eject lunar dust, redistributing regolith grains, which ...

Sintering lunar regolith pellets: a comparison of four samples from Apollo 11, 15, and 16
Lunar regolith sintering is proposed as a technique to produce consolidated objects on the lunar surface from locally sourced materials. Understanding the sintering behaviour of real lunar regolith is necessary to optimise this process, however, due to ...

Abstract Determining rainfall runoff responses of catchments to unprecedented climate conditions is an issue which has largely eluded the hydrologic community for many years. Conceptual rainfall runoff models are used globally to predict runoff for regional water resources management and planning. However, obtaining parameter values suitable for future

Low‐relief dry channels appear out of place across a glaciated karst landscape in northern Ohio. Channels are only a few metres deep cut into limestone and draped with a veneer of till. Several hypotheses are proposed for explaining the channels. Low‐relief dry channels are observed across the Bellevue‐Castalia Karst Plain of north‐central Ohio, USA ...

Experimental Evaluation of Lunar Regolith Settlement Caused by Ice Extraction
Water resources are essential to human exploration in deep space or the establishment of long-term lunar habitation. Ice discovered on the Moon may be useful in future missions to the lunar surface, necessitating the consideration of in situ resource ...

Abstract The lunar regolith contains a rich history of Solar System impact events and solar activity. Many future missions will land in the south polar region of the Moon, a heavily impact cratered highland terrain, similar to the Apollo 16 landing site.
