The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Morphological and Spectral Characterization of Lunar Regolith Breakdown due to Water Ice

The Planetary Science Journal
Remote 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.

Subtle relict channels associated with large dolines in an area formerly beneath the Laurentide Ice Sheet, northern Ohio, USA

Boreas, EarlyView.
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 ...

Evaluating the Depth–Age Hypothesis for the Evolution of the Lunar Regolith

The Planetary Science Journal
Lunar regolith is the fractured rock layer covering most of the lunar surface. This rock is fractured into regolith primarily by repeated meteorite impacts over eons.

Insights on the volcanic and impact histories of the lunar nearside from the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of the Calcalong Creek lunar regolith breccia meteorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 392-421, March 2025.
Abstract The Calcalong Creek lunar meteorite is a regolith breccia with a lithologically diverse array of clasts set in a glassy, highly vesicular matrix. Here, we present a comprehensive new analysis of the meteorite. Comparisons to remote sensing data, lunar sample lithologies, and lunar sample ages indicate that it was likely sourced from regolith ...

A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

Development of a Hydrogeological Conceptual Model for Shallow Aquifers in the Data Scarce Upper Blue Nile Basin

Hydrology, 2019
Rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa commonly rely on shallow hand-dug wells and springs; consequently, shallow aquifers are an extremely important water source.

Electromagnetic Signal Attenuation Characteristics in the Lunar Regolith Observed by the Lunar Regolith Penetrating Radar (LRPR) Onboard the Chang’E-5 Lander

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Chinese Chang’E-5 probe landed in the Mons Rümker of Oceanus Procellarum on the near side of the Moon. The lunar regolith penetrating radar (LRPR) carried by the Chang’E-5 probe allows for the determination of in situ lunar regolith dielectric ...

Microtextures and structures in metal–sulfide grains in NWA 869 meteorite and their relation to thermal history of L‐chondrite parent body

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 616-631, March 2025.
Abstract Results of microanalysis study of NWA 869 meteorite, an ordinary chondrite, where silicates, Fe‐Ni alloys, and troilite are major constituents, are reported. The presented study of microtextures in metallic and sulfide grains provides information on processes occurring from the asteroid's accretion, through the impacts until cooling.

Volatiles in the Martian regolith

Geophysical Research Letters, 1979
An inventory of released volatiles on Mars has been derived based upon Viking measurements of atmospheric and surface chemical compositionand upon the inferred mineralogy of a ubiquitous regolithassumed to average 200m in depth. This model is consistent with the relative abundances of volatiles (except for S) on the Earth's surfacebut implies one ...
