  • Detecting a Periodic Signal in the Terrestrial Cratering Record 
    Grieve, Richard A. F.; Sharpton, Virgil L.; Rupert, James D.; Goodacre, Alan K. (Cambridge University Press, 1988)
    Time-series analyses of periodic, random, and a mixture of periodic and random ages indicate that it is difficult to consistently detect a period if age uncertainties are present. This problem is present in real data taken ...

    Stoffler, D.; Ostertag, R.; Reimold, W. U.; Borchardt, R.; Malley, J.; Rehfeldt, A. (Pergamon Press, 1981)
    The complete collection of 139 boulder, large rock (hand specimens), rake and "soil walnut" samples (>ca. 1 g) from Station 11 and of 48 corresponding samples from Station 13, Apollo 16, has been reclassified on the basis ...
  • Drilling-induced and logging-related features illustrated from IODP–ICDP Expedition 364 downhole logs and borehole imaging tools

    In 2016 an international scientific expedition drilled a 1.3 km deep hole to explore the Chicxulub impact crater, buried below the surface of the Yucatán shelf (Mexico). This crater is linked to the End-Cretaceous mass ...
  • Dust in the Atmosphere of Mars and Its Impact on Human Exploration : Houston Texas, June 13-15, 2017 
    Levine, Joel S.; Winterhalter, Daniel (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2017)
    The workshop addressed the following questions: 1. Identification of the status of current knowledge in each of the workshop subject areas. 2. Identification of gaps in our knowledge. 3. Needed experiments and measurements ...
  • The dynamic atmospheric and aeolian environment of Jezero crater, Mars 
    Newman, Claire E.; Hueso, Ricardo; Lemmon, Mark T.; Munguira, Asier; Vicente‐Retortillo, Álvaro; Apestigue, Víctor; Martínez, Germán M. (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-05-25)
    Despite the importance of sand and dust to Mars geomorphology, weather, and exploration, the processes that move sand and that raise dust to maintain Mars' ubiquitous dust haze and to produce dust storms have not been well ...
  • Dynamic crystallization of a eucrite basalt 
    Walker, David, 1946-; Powell, M. A.; Lofgren, Gary E.; Hays, J. F. (Pergamon Press, 1978)
    Crystallization textures produced experimentally from eucrite Stannern show variations as a function of initial melting temperature (T 0) and linear cooling rate.
  • Dynamical implications of the petrology and distribution of impact melt rocks 
    Phinney, William C.; Simonds, Charles H. (Pergamon Press, 1976)
    To increase our understanding of the formation of impact craters and the properties of their ejecta there must be an integration of data from theoretical models, cratering experiments, and observations of natural impact ...
  • Early loss, fractionation, and redistribution of chlorine in the Moon as revealed by the low-Ti lunar mare basalt suite 
    Boyce, Jeremy W.; Kanee, Sarah A.; McCubbin, Francis M.; Barnes, Jessica J.; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839 (Elsevier, 2018-10-15)
