A Global Perspective on Lunar Granular Flows by V. T. Bickel, S. Loew, J. Aaron, N. Goedhart

“…Here, we build and deploy a convolutional neural network and map 28,101 flow features between 60°N and S by scanning through ∼150,000 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images. We observe that flows are heterogeneously distributed over the Moon, where all major hotspots are located in craters and almost all hotspots are located in the nearside maria. …”
