Thorium abundances on the lunar surface
Measurements of absolute thorium abundances on the lunar surface are presented using both the highand low-altitude data taken with the Lunar Prospector Gamma-Ray Spectrometer. An analysis of the uncertainties shows that the measured uncertainties are < 0.5 μg/g and are close to the theoretical limit of Poisson statistics. Currently, the overall systematic uncertainties are likely dominated by v...
متن کاملPreferential Filtering and Gravity Anomaly Seperation Using Gravity
Introduction: Understanding the lunar gravity field can provide fundamental information about lunar internal structure, bulk composition, heat flow, and the duration of volcanism and tectonism. We aim to utilize the gravity field from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to reconstruct the history of lunar volcanic history. The high-resolution GRAIL gravity maps show tha...

1967: 33 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, March 2002, Houston, Texas. THE COMPTON-BELKOVICH REGION OF THE MOON: J.J. Gillis et al. north of the albedo feature (white arrows in Fig. 2) have very bright sun-facing slopes (i.e., warmer) and dark sun-shaded slopes (i.e. cooler); thus, their reflectance is controlled by topography. The albedo feature, however, is the same temperature in the L...
متن کاملSubsurface modeling of mud volcanoes, using density model and analysis of seismic velocity
Detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. This distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. However, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. Performance of the gravity technique co...
متن کاملInvestigating the Hydraulic Properties and Design Criteria for the River Subsurface Intake with a porous media without cut off
Surface and subsurface water collection in small seasonal rivers is very crucial, particularly in dry seasons. In this study a type of intake is introduced which acts as a river drainage network. An experimental model of the subsurface intake was constructed and the effective parameters such as upstream discharge, installation depth, and drain intervals were evaluated. The results showed that t...
