Depth-to-diameter Ratios of Fresh Craters on the Moon and Implications for Surface Age Estimates
The depth-to-diameter ( d / D ) ratios of small lunar craters ( D < 400 m) can be used to determine important properties of the upper regolith, specifically material strength or thickness. The d / D is also an important component of topographic diffusion models that describe how different erosive...
