Thicknesses of mare basalts on the Moon from gravity and topography

Thicknesses of mare basalts on the Moon from gravity and topography

A new method of determining the thickness of mare basalts on the Moon is introduced that is made possible by high-resolution gravity data acquired from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. Using a localized multitaper spherical-harmonic analysis, an effective density...
