Summary: The Nectarian-aged Crisium basin has a thin crust and complex lunar geological history, with different mare units formed by prolonged lunar volcanism. The presence of olivine suggests hybridization in the lunar mantle, while the existence of Mg-suite candidates in the western highlands requires validation through future lunar exploration missions.

Summary: This study aims to identify the launching sites of lunar meteorites, focusing on the NWA 773 clan, through comparing their geochemical compositions and geochronological information with remote-sensing datasets. The results suggest that the NWA 773 clan most likely originated from the north part of Mare Imbrium.

Summary: In this study, a mantle boulder candidate search algorithm was applied around the Imbrium basin using radiative transfer modeling and datasets from Moon Mineralogy Mapper and Multiband Imager. Two boulders consisting of olivine and possible mantle dunite were found on Copernicus central peaks, excavated by Imbrium basin or Copernicus crater. The algorithm presented in this work has the potential to be used for a global search for mantle candidate boulders in lunar basins.

Summary: The study of mantle melting and basaltic magmatism involves models based on the control of mantle potential temperature on melting extent and pressure, as well as the mechanisms of basalt generation in different tectonic settings. These models have gained wide acceptance in various geological contexts, demonstrating the correlation of mantle melting and basaltic magmatism with lithospheric thickness.

Summary: This study analyzed the morphological characteristics of craters on the Moon and found distinguishable differences between the lunar highlands and maria. It also identified a global power-law relationship between crater depth-to-diameter ratios and crater densities. The study provides references for the thicknesses of the mare basalts and highland upper megaregolith.

Summary: The traditional DFIT analysis methods assume vertical wells in ultra-low permeability reservoirs with potential multiple closures, neglecting horizontal wells. Due to the complexity of the hydraulic fracture opening and closure process and assumptions of conventional fracture detection methods, there is still debate regarding the rigor and validity of these techniques. This paper introduces a novel method using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for detecting fracture closure pressure. The method decomposes the pressure fall-off signal into multiple levels with different frequencies using CWT and identifies the fracture closure event when the signal energy stabilizes to a minimum level.

Summary: Plume-lithosphere interactions play a significant role in the formation of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). This study focuses on the Permian Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP) and the role of plume-lithosphere interaction in the formation of basalts in the outer zone. The research findings suggest that the high-Ti basalts in the Sichuan Basin are different from those in the inner zone, indicating different plume-lithosphere interactions in different parts of the ELIP.

Summary: Latency-based metrics of attentional capture are limited and cannot indicate the frequency of capture. This study introduces a new technique for estimating the probability of attentional capture. The results showed a surprisingly low probability of attentional capture in the spatial cueing paradigm using the novel analytical approach.

Summary: Uncertain or inaccurate parameters in sea ice models can impact seasonal predictions and climate change projections. Applying an ensemble Kalman filter to estimate parameters in the model can improve performance at local scales, especially during the forecast period when no observations are available for assimilation.

Summary: This article summarizes the author's 30-year research on the basalt problem, highlighting the importance of lithosphere thickness control instead of mantle potential temperature control in determining the extent and pressure of mantle melting and basalt compositions. The author encourages debate and discussion within the scientific community regarding this paradigm shift.

Summary: A rainfall regionalization method based on variation coefficient was used to construct flash flood hyetographs with different return periods by analyzing the flash flood shape of a historical event in the Tlalnepantla River basin, Mexico in September 2021. The historical flash flood was simulated using a semi-distributed model in HEC-HMS and the flood plains were obtained using Iber and Hec-Ras 2D software. The simulated design storms were then used to estimate their potential consequences on the site.

Summary: Fresh impact ejecta deposits on the lunar surface consist of a heterogeneous mix of boulders, cobbles, and fine-grained regolith. Observations of old lunar impact craters reveal the presence of large boulders along their rims, indicating continuous rock exposure due to downslope movement of regolith. Collecting lunar samples at crater rims can help mitigate sample contamination from distant sources and ensure accurate geologic interpretations.

Summary: This study analyzed rock abundance data on the lunar surface and found that the growth of lunar regolith affects the abundance of surface rocks, indicating that older surfaces have lower rock abundance, and younger surfaces have higher rock abundance. In addition, rocks reexcavated from within the regolith contribute significantly to the observed rock population on the lunar surface.

Summary: A distinct marker horizon, exhibiting high calcium pyroxene and other basaltic minerals in contrast to hydrated sulfate signatures, is observed in various parts of Mount Sharp. The marker horizon is marked by ridges, fractures, faults, layering, oval depressions, small craters, and possible yardangs. It is interpreted to have formed concurrently with the sulfate-bearing strata on Mount Sharp, with the most plausible formation mechanisms being a more indurated sulfate unit deposition or volcanic ash deposit during the sulfate formation period.
