A Radar-Based Analysis of Rock Populations and Regolith Properties in the Lunar Maria
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lunar Data Analysis Program
Subaward to PSI from Smithsonian Institution
PI: Emily Martin (Smithsonian Institution)
Project Description
Gareth Morgan is a Co-Investigator on the LDAP proposal A Radar-Based Analysis of Rock Populations and Regolith Properties in the Lunar Maria., led by PI Cole Nypaver of the Smithsonian Institution. This proposal will undertake multiple radar-based analysis and associated mapping tasks to investigate rock distributions and other regolith properties within lunar volcanic terrains.
Co-I Morgan will contribute to the following activities:
• Characterization of mare deposits using radar and other remote sensing datasets.
- Undertake regolith thickness estimates.
• Application of radar-based mapping techniques to investigate mare deposits.
• Support the PI by participating in telecons, manuscript preparation, and attending one
science conference.
