A Global Survey of Lunar Surface Thorium Anomalies Associated with Impact Basins

Radionuclides (e.g., thorium, uranium, and potassium) are the major sources of the Moon’s endogenic heat. While their surface occurrence can be mapped from orbit by gamma-ray spectrometry, knowledge of their subsurface distribution is crucial in further understanding the Moon’s thermal evolution. He...
