  • Lunar sourcebook : a user's guide to the moon 
    Schmitt, Harrison H.; Heiken, Grant; Vaniman, David; French, Bevan M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7661-2626 (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2005)

  • Lunar South Pole Radar Images and Earthshine Model (85°S to Pole) 
    Stopar, Julie; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1578-3688 (Lunar and Planetary Institute, Regional Planetary Image Facility, 2020-04)
    The larger map is centered on the south pole and is based on radar images obtained using Arecibo Observatory and Green Bank Telescope (Cornell University/Smithsonian Institution). The inset map shows solar permanently ...
  • Lunar stratigraphy and sedimentology 
    Lindsay, John F. (John Francis), 1941-2008 (Elsevier, 1976)
    There are essentially three parts to the book. Chapter 1 presents a very brief view of the moon as a planetary body to establish a perspective for the following chapters. Chapters 2 and 3 evaluate the energy sources available ...
  • Lunar volcanism produced a transient atmosphere around the ancient Moon 
    Needham, Debra H.; Kring, David A. (David Allen); https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3440-6282 (Elsevier, 2017-11-15)
    We investigated the volume of mare basalt and the mass of volatiles released from the Moon as a function of time to determine how the lunar atmosphere may have been affected by more intense volcanic activity early in lunar history
  • The lunar-surface orientation of some Apollo 12 rocks 
    Hörz, Friedrich, 1940-; Hartung, Jack B. (MIT Press, 1971)
    Detailed studies of the distribution of microcraters on whole lunar rocks revealed that some rocks have large surface areas that are completely uncratered. It is demonstrated that the uncratered parts were buried in the ...
  • Machine Learning Tools for Geomorphic Mapping of Planetary Surfaces 
    Stepinski, T. F.; Vilalta, Ricardo (Intech, 2010-02-01)
    Machine learning can play a vital role in automating the process of geomorphic mapping. A learning system can be employed to either fully automate the process of discovering meaningful landform classes using clustering ...
  • Magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in the lunar mantle, crust, and regolith: Abundances, distributions, processes, and reservoirs 
    McCubbin, Francis M.; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839 (Mineralogical Society of America, 2015-08-01)
    Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the distribution and sources of volatiles ...
  • Magnetic properties and granulometry of metallic iron in lunar breccia 14313 
    Dunlop, D. J.; Gose, W. A.; Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W. (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    Based on a detailed study of time-dependent or viscous remanence (VRM), thermoremanence (TRM) and magnetic granulometry of soil breccia 14313, single-domain particles of iron 100-200 Å in size are proposed as the major ...
  • Magnetic properties of Apollo 14 breccias and their correlation with metamorphism 
    Gose, W. A.; Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Larson, E. E. (Pergamon Press, 1972)
    The magnetic properties of Apollo 14 breccias can be explained in terms of the grain size distribution of the interstitial iron which is directly related to the metamorphic grade of the sample.
  • Magnetic properties of Apollo samples and implications for regolith formation 
    Pearce, G. W.; Strangway, David W.; Gose, W. A. (Pergamon Press, 1974)
    The magnetic properties of a number of Apollo 17 samples have been measured and confirm that regoliths of mare sites (Apollo 11, 12, 15 valley, and 17 valley) differ markedly from those of highland sites (Apollo 14, 16, ...
  • Magnetic studies on Apollo 15 and 16 lunar samples 
    Pearce, G. W.; Gose, W. A.; Strangway, David W. (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    The magnetic properties of lunar samples are almost exclusively due to rather pure metallic iron. The mare basalt contains about 0.06 wt.% Fe, the soils 0.5--0.6 wt.%, and the breccias 0.3-1.0 wt.%. Most of the additional ...
