The surface of the Moon is heterogeneous both on a regional and a fine scale. The geologic mapping of this surface is similar in principle to the geologic mapping of the Earth's surface and depends on the discrimination of similarities and differences between materials and features at different points on the surface. Differences from area to area in characteristic topographic forms and in such physical properties as albedo indicate that the areas are underlain by materials of different nature and have formed under different processes. The units shown on the map are analogous to stratigraphic units adopted for mapping terrestrial geology in that they are bodies of rock with a limited range of properties and age and...
Systems and shirt-sleeve operations tests were conducted at the Bonito Flow test site from April 5 through April 9. The tests provided the opportunity to evaluate field test logistics, systems compatibility, systems operation, and geological field and control center operations. This report summarizes the evaluations that bear on the potential usefulness of systems and operations.
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
