Join us for "Impact Craters and Geologic Mapping on the Earth and Moon," where we explore the fascinating world of lunar analog sites and geologic mapping techniques crucial for understanding both Earth and extraterrestrial landscapes. Discover the legacy of the Cinder Lake crater fields in northern Arizona, essential training grounds for Apollo astronauts and instrumental in lunar mission preparations. Delve into the innovative adaptations of geological mapping methods for planetary exploration, blending Earth-based techniques with those suited for lunar missions under Artemis. Learn about the latest insights into low-angle lunar impacts and their implications for planetary science hypotheses, supported by experimental simulations and high-resolution lunar imaging. Additionally, explore NASA's Solar System Treks Portals, powerful tools enabling researchers, educators, and the public to visualize and analyze planetary data, fostering engagement and advancing our understanding of planetary surfaces across the Solar System. Join us to delve into the frontiers of planetary geology and exploration.
