Survival of Ancient Lunar Water Affected by Topographic Degradation of Old, Large Complex Craters
Abstract Lunar water is redistributed by various processes. Topographic diffusion affects the transport of water and contributes to its preservation in subsurface layers. Here, we analyze 16 complex craters (∼3.2 – ∼4.2 Ga) larger than 20 km in diameter near the lunar south pole to quantify their de...
