Rethinking lunar mare basalt regolith formation: New concepts of lava flow protolith and evolution of regolith thickness and internal structure

JW Head, L Wilson - Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Lunar mare regolith is traditionally thought to have formed by impact bombardment of newly
emplaced coherent solidified basaltic lava. We use new models for initial emplacement of …

Formation and dispersal of pyroclasts on the Moon: Indicators of lunar magma volatile contents

C Morgan, L Wilson, JW Head - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal …, 2021 - Elsevier
We use new estimates of the total content and speciation of volatiles released during the
ascent and eruption of lunar mare basalt magma to model the generation and behavior of …

Using volcanological models to understand the volatile drivers of eruptions on the Moon

MBL Lo - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Volcanism is a key process linking the interior of a planetary body to its surface. The
behaviour and speciation of different volatiles in magma is very sensitive to changes in …
