Results obtained via three techniques for studying the radiation history of the available lunar regolith samples are summarized. The stabilizing effect of thermal annealing of fossil tracks due to the lunar temperature cycle, radiation annealing of fresh heavy-ion tracks by large proton doses, and correction factors for anisotropic etching of crystals are discussed in relation to trace analysis. The natural thermoluminescence of lunar samples has yielded data on effective storage temperature and mean depth below the lunar surface, on effective thermal conductivity, on the thermal wavelength of overlying lunar soil at various depths, and on temperatures in the shadow of lunar boulders. Microcratering results on variations in the flux of dust particles and micrometeorites and micrometeoritic material are discussed.
