Martian Crater Morphology
ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter. -

The exact origin and the events that have shaped the crustal magnetization remain largely enigmatic.

Pheres Giant Planets
15 pheres Giant Planets Andrew P. Ingersoll H E GIANT PLANETS - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep tune - are fluid objects. They have no solid surfaces 201 because the light elements constituting them do not condense at solar-system temperatures. Instead, their deep atmospheres grade downward until the distinction Tbetween gas and liquid becomes meaningless. The preceding chapter delved into the hot, dark interiors of the Jovian planets. This one focuses on their atmospheres, especially the observable layers from the base of the clouds to the edge of space. These veneers are only a few hundred kilometers thick, less than one percent of each planet's radius, but they exhibit an incredible variety of dynamic phenomena. The mixtures of elements in these outer layers resemble a cooled-down piece of the Sun. Clouds precipitate out of this gaseous soup in a variety of colors. The cloud patterns are orga nized by winds, which are powered by heat derived from sun light (as on Earth) and by internal heat left over from planetary formation. Thus the atmospheres of the Jovian planets are dis tinctly different both compositionally and dynamically from those of the terrestrial planets. Such differences make them fas cinating objects for study, providing clues about the origin and evolution of the planets and the formation oftl1e solar system. aturally, atmospheric scientists are interested to see how well the principles of our field apply beyond the Earth. For Neptune and its Great Dark Spot, as recorded by Voyager 2 example, the Jovian planets are ringed by multiple cloud bands in 1989. -

Taylor 2016 eBook edition published by Worldbuilders Press, a service of the Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency Cover design by Matt Forsyth Dedication I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Blaihin, who not only puts up with my writing but supports it, and to my daughter Tina, who completed our family. Acknowledgments It is a source of amazement to me how many people are involved in creating a novel. It’s not just about writing it down. Critiques, beta readers, editors, artists, agents, and publishers all have a hand in producing the final product. I’d like to thank my agent, Ethan Ellenberg, for taking me on; Steve Feldberg of Audible.com who saw the potential in the book; and my editor, Betsy Mitchell. The number of critters and beta readers who’ve had a hand in the book is simply astounding. I’d like to particularly mention the members of the Ubergroup and Novel Exchange group on scribophile. Thanks in particular to: Sandra and Ken McLaren Nicole Hamilton Sheena Lewis And my wife Blaihin. And, as usual, a shout-out to the members of snowboardingforum.com PART 1 1. BOB VERSION 1.0 2.

In this thesis, I use data sets from four orbital robotic spacecraft missions to answer longstanding questions about the crustal structure of the Moon and the climatic history of Mars. In chapter 2, I use gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to constrain the quantity and location of hidden volcanic deposits on the Moon. -
