Characterization of lunar crust with moon mineralogy mapper data

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This dissertation has three main focuses: (1) identify the distribution of a new rock type (Mg-spinel lithology) on the Moon and explore the likely petrogenesis of Mg-spinel; (2) investigate the presence of olivine in the crater central peaks and analyze the sources of olivine; (3) determine the compositional variations of lunar crust with depth, and establish a new model to describe the structure of the lunar crust.
