Lunar Science eight

You must extract the zipped files before using. To begin viewing the abstracts, click on the file "index.html."Solar System processes are considered along with the origin and evolution of the moon, planetary geophysics, lunar basins and crustal layering, lunar magnetism, the lunar surface as a planetary probe, remote observations of lunar and planetary surfaces, earth-based measurements, integrated studies, physical properties of lunar materials, and asteroids, meteorites, and the early Solar System. Attention is also given to studies of mare basalts, the kinetics of basalt crystallization, topical studies of mare basalts, highland rocks, experimental studies of highland rocks, geochemical studies of highland rocks, studies of materials of KREEP composition, a consortium study of lunar breccia 73215, topical studies on highland rocks, Venus, and regional studies of the moon. Studies of surface processes, are reported, taking into account cratering mechanics and fresh crater morphology, crater statistics and surface dating, effects of exposure and gardening, and the chemistry of surfaces.Sponsored by NASA through the Lunar Science Institute and the Johnson Space CenterPARTIAL CONTENTS: Fines Photoconductivity / Alvarez, R. -- Exposure Age and Agglutinate Content of Lunar Soils / Basu, A. -- Solar Flare Induced Al-26 in Short Exposure Age Rocks / Bhandari, N. -- Lunar Surface Chemistry of Regions Common to the Orbital X-ray and Gamma-ray Experiments / Bielefeld, M.J. -- Fission Origin for the Moon: Accumulating Evidence / Binder, A.B
