Mossbauer spectroscopy of earth and planetary materials

Article Abstract:

An accessible summary of the Mossabauer technique is created in its current implementation in order to inform students and collaborators, to introduce new users to its capabilities, and to generally advance and advocate for this art of research. This study exemplifies the potential of surface Mossbauer measurements to add greatly to the understanding of redox processes that occur in the outermost layers of minerals.

Planetary seismology

Article Abstract:

A presentation on the main results achieved by the analysis of the Apollo seismic data and the associated constraints on the internal structure of the Moon, is provided. A description on existing space-qualified instruments and on possible seismic missions toward another telluric bodies, such as Venus, the giant's planets satellites or small bodies, is given.

The importance of secondary cratering to age constraints on planetary surfaces

Article Abstract:

The importance of secondary cratering in constraining the ages of surface units are mainly focused. The considerable challenges and how researchers can sometimes generate useful age constraints from small craters are described, at least in the inner Solar System where one can know that many small primary craters are produced.
