    Characteristics of small young lunar impact craters focusing on …

    • Analysing the size-frequency distribution of very small lunar craters (sized below 100 m including ones below 10 m) using LROC images, spatial density and related age estimations were calculated for mar… See more

    1. Introduction

    The lunar surface provides an ideal, large area to record and analyse cratering rate at the near Earth region because of the lack of atmosphere, substantial weathering and also large s… See more

    How was the lunar cratering chronology established?
    The lunar cratering chronology was established by correlating these radiometric and/or exposure ages with results from crater counts for the landing sites [e.g., BVSP, 1981; Neukum, 1983; Strom and Neukum, 1988; Neukum and Ivanov, 1994; Stöffler and Ryder, 2001; Le Feuvre and Wieczorek, 2011].
