The Extent, Nature, and Origin of K and Rb Depletions and Isotopic Fractionations in Earth, the Moon, and Other Planetary Bodies

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2022
Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) are depleted and isotopically fractionated in the Moon relative to Earth. To understand how the composition of the Moon was established, we calculate the equilibrium and kinetic isotopic fractionation factors ...

Spectrophotometric and Topographic Correlations within the Mare Ingenii Swirl Region: Evidence for a Highly Mobile Lunar Regolith

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The spectrophotometric properties of two study areas in the Ingenii swirl region show that the combined effects of multiple processes are required to explain the regolith’s mineralogical and physical properties.

The Role of the Commercial Space Industry within the US National Security under the Trump Administration

open access: yesВестник Московского Университета. Серия XXV: Международные отношения и мировая политика, 2021
The US space activities from their inception have been closely connected with the private sector. However, only in 2010s private space companies have come to play a prominent role not only on the global market of space services but in the field of ...

Generating and storing power on the moon using in situ resources

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2021
The Moon Village and similar concepts are strongly reliant on in situ resource utilisation (ISRU). There is great interest in harvesting solar power using locally leveraged in situ resources as an essential facet of in situ infrastructure. Traditionally,

Yearling proportion correlates with habitat structure in a boreal forest landbird community [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Landbird vital rates, such as productivity and adult survivorship, can be estimated by modeling mist-netting capture data. The proportion in which an adult breeding bird is 1 year of age (a “yearling”), however, has been studied only minimally in a few ...

Conditions and extent of volatile loss from the Moon during formation of the Procellarum basin

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance The depletion of moderately volatile elements in the lunar interior, compared to the Earth’s interior, is accompanied by enrichment in heavy isotopes for most species.

Polar Ice Accumulation from Volcanically Induced Transient Atmospheres on the Moon

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2022
Water ice exists at the lunar poles, but its origin, abundance, and distribution are not well understood. One potential source of water to the poles is the volcanic outgassing of volatiles from the lunar interior and subsequent condensation of erupted ...
