    Basalt Thickness of Mare Tranquillitatis using Two Methods Upper Darby High School, 601 N Lansdowne Ave, Drexel Hill, PA Gutama Biru, Chris DeMott, Galen Farmer, Daniel Gordon, Isabel Hunt, Kenneth Lin, Thomas Nguyen, Zach Thornton, Vince Tran, Most Yeasmin PROBLEM ISOPACH MAPS The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate two methods of calculating basalt thickness in Mare Tranquillitatis. Figure 1 is the original isopach map used for reference. Figures 2 and 3 are isopach maps made using 3DField software. INTRODUCTION Lunar maria are large impact craters or basins that have been filled with basalt. While the Moon was still cooling, lava seeped into these basins through cracks, cooling to form the maria. This study compares two methods of determining the thickness of basalt in Mare Tranquillitatis: the Pre-Mare Crater Method and the Post- Figure 2. Pre-Mare Crater Isopach Mare Crater Method. The first method uses craters from before the mare was formed and the latter uses craters from after the mare was formed, as the names imply. Previous work ( De HONs map reference) has been conducted using these methods to Figure 1. Reference Map (DeHon 1974) calculate mare thickness; however the tools used to collect that data are outdated. The current study, conducted using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Clementine camera, compares the two methods for determining mare thickness. The Pre-Mare Crater Method used craters that were formed inside the large impact basins before they filled with lava. By measuring the diameter of these craters, the original rim height can be estimated using a relationship defined by Pike (1974, 1977).
