In situ Viscometry of Primitive Lunar Magmas at High Pressure and High Temperature

Understanding the dynamics of the magmatic evolution of the interior of the Moon requires accurate knowledge of the viscosity (η) of lunar magmas at high pressure (P) and high temperature (T) conditions. Although the viscosities of terrestrial magmas are relatively well-documented, and their relatio...
