The moon has a global dichotomy, with its near and far sides having different geomorphology, topography, chemical composition ...

In my research, I use a wide range of geochemical tracers to understand how fractional crystallization, assimilation of crustal rocks, melt-rock reactions, and partial melting can affect the ...

It is exposed at surface with no overburden and is amenable to low cost efficient bulk dredge mining, which will be contained ...

I use a wide range of geochemical tracers including: major and trace element compositions, radiogenic, helium, and oxygen isotopes ratios, and volatile concentrations, in combination with petrologic ...

After analyzing the sample brought by Chang'e-6, researchers found that the moon’s oldest and deepest crater on its far side ...
