Merrill, R G

Topics discussed include basaltic studies, planetary differentiation (e.g., lunar highland rocks), and remote sensing studies of chemical composition, mineralogic composition, and physical surface properties. Particular attention is given to the petrology and chemistry of basaltic fragments from the Apollo 11 soil, a model of early lunar differentiation, rocks of the early lunar crust, refractory and moderately volatile element abundances in the earth, moon, and meteorites, the effects of overlapping optical absorption bands of pyroxene and glass on the reflectance spectra of lunar soils, and the characterization of Martian surface materials from earth-based radar.
