Photogeological constraints on lunar and planetary vulcanism, part 1. Final report, 7 Dec. 1978 - 7 Dec. 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6227493
Central volcanic constructs were studied as constraints on the thermal evolution and regional tectonics of the Moon and terrestrial planets. The origins of sub-kilometer lunar craters were examined with regards to implications for mare basalt petrogenesis. The morphology, distribution, age, and tectonic setting of the volcanic constructs were studied using Viking Orbiter data.
