In recent years, we have utilized the Apollo orbital geochemistry datasets and Earth-based spectral reflectance data to investigate the composition of highland units associated with lunar multiring basins. These include Imbrium, Orientale, and Nectaris Basins. We have also analyzed a large number of near-IR reflectance spectra and multispectral images in an attempt to answer a variety of questions concerning the Serenitatis Basin. These questions include the following: (1) What is the composition of highland units in the region and how do these compositions vary as a function of position around and distance from Serenitatis?; (2) What was the crustal stratigraphy of the Serenitatis preimpact target site?; (3) How do the Apollo 17 samples relate to geologic units in the surrounding highlands?; (4) What is the nature and origin of light plains deposits in the region?; and (5) Do cryptomare occur in the Serenitatis region? The purpose of this paper is to present the preliminary results of our analyses of spectral data obtained for the Serenitatis Basin region.
