Geochemische und stratigraphische Untersuchungen lunarer Basalte mit Methoden der Fernerkundung

The topic of this thesis is the geologic interpretation of remote sensing data of the lunar surface under stratigraphic and geochemical aspects. The goal of the study was to derive surface ages for spectrally/photogeologically defined units and to determine the geochemical composition, i.e. the titanium content of these units in order to investigate the relationship between these two parameters. Additionally, the results obtained from morphologic, genetic, and volumetric investigations were included in the interpretation. As a consequence of the large number of synoptically interpreted data sets numerous remote sensing techniques, e.g. photogeologic mapping, major component analyses, multispectral ratios, and crater size-frequency distribution measurements were used in this study. A reduction scheme for multispectral data sets is presented and numerous data sets which were obtained under different geometric and photometric conditions were transformed to an identical map projection in order to allow a simultaneous synoptic interpretation.
