Widespread small grabens consistent with recent tectonism on Mercury
Abstract Since Mariner 10 first imaged Mercury in 1974, tectonic landforms dominated by
shortening structures have been extensively documented. Contractional tectonism on …

[HTML][HTML] The equilibrium size-frequency distribution of small craters reveals the effects of distal ejecta on lunar landscape morphology
Small craters of the lunar maria are observed to be in a state of equilibrium, in which the rate
of production of new craters is, on average, equal to the rate of destruction of old craters …

Thickness of lunar mare basalts: New results based on modeling the degradation of partially buried craters
Partially buried craters on the Moon are those craters whose distal ejecta are covered by
lava flows and where the crater rim crest still protrudes above the mare plain. Based on the …

Cryovolcanic rates on Ceres revealed by topography
Cryovolcanism, defined here as the extrusion of icy material from depth, may be an
important planetary phenomenon in shaping the surfaces of many worlds in the outer Solar …

Effect of topography degradation on crater size‐frequency distributions: Implications for populations of small craters and age dating
Whether or not background secondary craters dominate populations of small impact craters
on terrestrial bodies is a half‐century controversy. It has been suggested that small craters …
