Scientific paper

Subjects of lunar petrology are discussed, taking into account Apollo 14 aluminous mare basalts and their possible relationship to KREEP, the petrology and geochemistry of clasts from consortium breccia, the depths of the mare basalt source region, the origin of olivine at Copernicus, a transient heating event in the history of a highlands troctolite from Apollo 12 soil, and the composition and evolution of the lunar crust in the Descartes highlands. Other topics explored are related to early earth and magmatic processes, differentiated meteorites, chondritic meteorites, other planets and remote sensing, and cratering. Attention is given to the gravity field of Venus at constant altitude and comparison with earth, a spectral analog of Martian soil, dark halo craters and the thickness of grooved terrain on Ganymede, the geomorphology of Rhea, a Monte Carlo model of lunar megaregolith development, the scaling of complex craters, crustal radiogenic heat production and the selective survival of ancient continental crust, and the formation of an impact-generated H2O atmosphere and its implications for the early thermal history of the earth.
