    Focuses on the development, generation, and processes of icy satellites, planets/dwarf planets, KBOs, etc. includes contributions pertaining to specific themes: The rheology and composition of such objects; Interior and ...
  • Experimental cosmochemistry in the space station : report of workshops September 12-13, 1985 and February 24-25, 1986. 
    Lunar and Planetary Institute (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1986)
    The scientific discussions focused on two general areas of research: chemical and physical processes in the earliest history of the general areas of research, and general principles of magmatic process applicable both to ...
  • Experimental Investigation of Oxidation of Pyroxene and Basalt: Implications for Spectroscopic Analyses of the Surface of Venus and the Ages of Lava Flows 
    Cutler, K. S.; Filiberto, Justin; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5058-1905; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839; Trang, David (American Astronomical Society, 2020-06-10)
    Alteration of basalt on the surface of Venus should be dominated by nanophase hematite and sulfate coatings, but the timescale of oxidation and how that affects spectroscopic measurements has not been extensively studied. ...
  • Experimental modeling of the cooling history of Apollo 12 olivine basalts 
    Donaldson, Colin H.; Usselman, Thomas M.; Williams, Richard J.; Lofgren, Gary E. (Pergamon Press, 1975)
    An analog of the Apollo 12 olivine vitrophyres has been crystallized in a 1-atm gas-mixing furnace at cooling rates ranging between 1250 and 0.7°/hr and isothermally at degrees of supercooling ranging from 10°C to 325°C. ...
