Scientific paper
The Lunar Prospector (LP) Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) has been used to map the global abundance of thorium on the lunar surface. A global map of absolute thorium abundances on a 2° by 2° equal-area pixel scale is presented using new detector modeling results and low altitude LP data. Because thorium is relatively abundant in KREEP-rich material, these data provide fundamental information regarding the locations and importance of terranes that are rich in KREEP bearing materials.
