    RADAR POLARIZATION PROPERTIES AND LUNAR SECONDARY CRATERING A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Kassandra Martin-Wells January 2013 © 2013 Kassandra Martin-Wells RADAR POLARIZATION PROPERTIES AND LUNAR SECONDARY CRATERING Kassandra Martin-Wells, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 Age dating of planetary surfaces relies on an accurate correlation between lunar crater size-frequency distributions and radiometric ages of samples returned from the Moon. For decades, it has been assumed that cratering records are dominated by “primary” impacts of interplanetary bolides [McEwen et al., 2005]. Unlike primary craters, secondary craters, which originate as ejecta from large primary events, occur in large clusters in both space and time. It was long believed that the majority of secondary craters formed at low velocities near their parent crater, resulting in a class of craters with morphologies which are easily distinguished from primary craters of a similar size [McEwen et al., 2005]. However, recent work by Bierhaus et al. (2005), McEwen et al. (2005) argues that cratering records in the Solar System may be strongly contaminated by hard-to-identify secondary craters. They advise caution when relying on counts at small diameters [McEwen et al., 2005; Bierhaus et al., 2005]. Despite the difficulties, something must be done to improve the accuracy of age dates derived from size-frequency distributions of small craters. In this thesis, a method of secondary crater identification based on radar circular polarization properties is presented. The radar polarization and photographic studies of lunar secondary craters in this thesis reveal that secondary cratering is a widespread phenomenon on the lunar surface.

  • SHARAD), Pedestal Craters, and the Lost Martian Layers: Initial Assessments Daniel Cahn Nunes,1 Suzanne E
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 116, E04006, doi:10.1029/2010JE003690, 2011 Shallow Radar (SHARAD), pedestal craters, and the lost Martian layers: Initial assessments Daniel Cahn Nunes,1 Suzanne E. Smrekar,1 Brian Fisher,2 Jeffrey J. Plaut,1 John W. Holt,3 James W. Head,4 Seth J. Kadish,4 and Roger J. Phillips5 Received 6 July 2010; revised 16 December 2010; accepted 24 January 2011; published 19 April 2011. [1] Since their discovery, Martian pedestal craters have been interpreted as remnants of layers that were once regionally extensive but have since been mostly removed. Pedestals span from subkilometer to hundreds of kilometers, but their thickness is less than ∼500 m. Except for a small equatorial concentration in the Medusae Fossae Formation, the nearly exclusive occurrence of pedestal craters in the middle and high latitudes of Mars has led to the suspicion that the lost units bore a significant fraction of volatiles, such as water ice. Recent morphological characterizations of pedestal deposits have further supported this view. Here we employ radar soundings obtained by the Shallow Radar (SHARAD) to investigate the volumes of a subset of the pedestal population, in concert with high‐ resolution imagery to assist our interpretations. From the analysis of 97 pedestal craters we find that large pedestals (diameter >30 km) are relatively transparent to radar in their majority, with SHARAD being able to detect the base of the pedestal deposits, and possess an average dielectric permittivity of 4 ± 0.5. In one of the cases of large pedestals in Malea Planum, layering is detected both in SHARAD data and in high‐resolution imagery of the pedestal margins.

    Burn your way to success Studies in the Mesopotamian Ritual and Incantation Series Šurpu by Francis James Michael Simons A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract The ritual and incantation series Šurpu ‘Burning’ is one of the most important sources for understanding religious and magical practice in the ancient Near East. The purpose of the ritual was to rid a sufferer of a divine curse which had been inflicted due to personal misconduct. The series is composed chiefly of the text of the incantations recited during the ceremony. These are supplemented by brief ritual instructions as well as a ritual tablet which details the ceremony in full. This thesis offers a comprehensive and radical reconstruction of the entire text, demonstrating the existence of a large, and previously unsuspected, lacuna in the published version. In addition, a single tablet, tablet IX, from the ten which comprise the series is fully edited, with partitur transliteration, eclectic and normalised text, translation, and a detailed line by line commentary.

  • The Eastern Outlet of Valles Marineris: a Window Into the Ancient Geologic and Hydrologic Evolution of Mars
    First Landing Site/Exploration Zone Workshop for Human Missions to the Surface of Mars (2015) 1054.pdf The Eastern Outlet of Valles Marineris: A Window into the Ancient Geologic and Hydrologic Evolution of Mars Stephen M. Clifford, David A. Kring, and Allan H. Treiman, Lunar and Planetary Institute/USRA, 3600 Bay Area Bvld., Houston, TX 77058 Over its 3,500 km length, Valles Marineris exhibits enormous range of geologic and environmental diversity. At its western end, the canyon is dominated by the tectonic complex of Noctis Labyrinthus while, in the east, it grades into an extensive region of chaos - where scoured channels and streamlined islands provide evidence of catastrophic floods that spilled into the northern plains [1-4]. In the central portion of the system, debris derived from the massive interior layered deposits of Candor, Ophir and Hebes Chasmas spills into the central trough have been identified as possible lucustrine sediments that may have been laid down in long-standing ice-covered lakes [3-6]. The potential survival and growth of Martian organisms in such an environment, or in the aquifers whose disruption gave birth to the chaotic terrain at the east end of the canyon, raises the possibility that fossil indicators of life may be present in the local sediment and rock. In other areas, 6 km-deep exposures of Hesperian and Noachian-age canyon wall stratigraphy have collapsed in massive landslides that extend many tens of kilometers across the canyon floor. Ejecta from interior craters, aeolian sediments, and possible volcanics (which appear to have emanated from structurally controlled vents along the base of the scarps), further contribute to the canyon's geologic complexity [2,3].

New and revised geographic and geologic terminologies assist with effectively discussing the various features of this region. We identify 7 geologic units making up Planum Boreum and at least 3 for the circumpolar plains, which collectively span the entire Amazonian Period. The Planum Boreum units resolve at least 6 distinct depositional and 5 erosional episodes. The first major stage of activity includes the Early Amazonian (∼3 to 1 Ga) deposition (and subsequent erosion) of the thick (locally exceeding 1000 m) and evenly- layered Rupes Tenuis unit (ABrt), which ultimately formed approximately half of the base of Planum Boreum. As previously suggested, this unit may be sourced by materials derived from the nearby Scandia region, and we interpret that it may correlate with the deposits that regionally underlie pedestal craters in the surrounding lowland plains.

This layer was found to be in a superrotation mode with a westward mean speed of 60–63 m s−1 in the latitude range of 0–60◦ S, with a 1–5 m s−1 westward deceleration across the nightside. Meridional motion is significantly weaker, at 0–2 m s−1; it is equatorward at latitudes higher than 20◦ S, and changes its direction to poleward in the equatorial region with a simultaneous increase of wind speed. It was assumed that higher levels of the atmosphere are traced in the equatorial region and a fragment of the poleward branch of the direct lower cloud Hadley cell is observed. The fragment of the equatorward branch reveals itself in the middle latitudes. A diurnal variation of the meridional wind speed was found, as east of 21 h local time, the direction changes from equatorward to poleward in latitudes lower than 20◦ S.
