Mass-Movements on the Moon

Image

Mass movements are ubiquitous across planetary surfaces, and the same type of landslides on different bodies commonly exhibits similar morphology but different geometries. Comparative planetology is an important approach to investigate fundamental parameters that affect the initiation and development of landslides, and the Moon is a key end member. High-resolution topography and meter-pixel-scale images have recently covered the entire Moon, revealing that together with impact cratering, mass wasting controls the evolution of surface topography. The volume and size-frequency distribution of particles control the style of mass movements on the Moon, and older terrains host slower and fewer landslides. EDITORIAL TRACKING SYSTEM is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. Manuscripts can be upload online at Editorial Tracking System (https://www.longdom.org/submissions/geology-geosciences.html) or forwarded to the Editorial Office at geology@journalsci.org Media Contact: Rooba Journal Manager Geology and Geophysics Email: geology@journalsci.org
