We model the ascent and eruption of lunar mare basalt magmas with new data on crustal
thickness and density (GRAIL), magma properties, and surface topography, morphology and …

We utilize a theoretical analysis of the generation, ascent, intrusion and eruption of basaltic
magma on the Moon to develop new insights into magma source depths, supply processes …

It has long been recognized that mare basalts on the Moon are preferentially located both on
the Earth-facing hemisphere and within large impact basins. A popular model that accounts …

Large volumes of mare basalts are present on the surface of the moon, located preferentially
in large impact basins. Mechanisms relating impact basins and mare basalt eruptions have …

Lunar mare basalt deposits cover 17% of the lunar surface, occur preferentially in
topographic lows on the nearside, and have a total volume estimated at 1× 10 7 km 3 …

The first rocks to be returned from the Moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts were basalts from
the mare basins. Analysis of these rocks led to the hypothesis that the mare lavas were …

Abstract Analysis of lunar laser ranging and seismic data has yielded evidence that has
been interpreted to indicate a molten zone in the lowermost mantle overlying a fluid core …

Although incomplete because of the imperfect and somewhat random sampling of rock types
by the Apollo and Luna missions (1969-1976), the history of lunar magmatism has been …

Lunar volcanic deposits are dominated by areally extensive mare units occurring in
regionally low areas predominantly on the lunar near side. Data obtained from lunar orbit …

Accurate estimates of the duration and volume of extrusive volcanism of the Moon are
essential for understanding the lunar thermal evolution. Here, using new high‐resolution …
