New Paper on the Early Evolution of the Lunar Crust Published in Nature Geoscience!

The Moon’s nearside and farside are asymmetric in a number of ways, including crustal thickness, the abundance of erupted lavas, and in the geochemistry of the the crust itself. There is a large concentration of radioactive and geochemically-incompatible elements on the nearside. In our new paper, we showed that this enrichment in incompatible elements lowers […]
