Lunar Evolution in Light of the Chang'e-5 Returned Samples
The Chinese spacecraft Chang'e-5 (CE-5) landed on the northern Ocean Procellarum and
returned 1,731 grams of regolith. The CE-5 regolith is composed mostly of fragments of …

Volatile interactions with the lunar surface
The Moon is generally depleted in volatile elements and this depletion extends to the
surface where the most abundant mineral, anorthite, features< 6 ppm H 2 O. Presumably the …

Determining the effect of varying magmatic volatile content on lunar magma ascent dynamics
The Moon is not volcanically active at present, therefore, we rely on data from lunar samples,
remote sensing, and numerical modeling to understand past lunar volcanism. The role of …
