In this seminar, part of the LPI Seminar Series 2021,<\/a> Carolyn van der Bogert describes the development, update, and application of the lunar cratering chronology and gives examples of how this powerful tool has changed our view of the Moon and the Solar System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lunar cratering  chronology is a tool for connecting lunar geological events to an absolute time scale, and allows a deeper assessment of the geological history of the Moon, Earth, and even other Solar System bodies. Its application allows geostratigraphic maps to be fit into an absolute time scale to produce chronostratigraphic maps, and is thus an important aspect of the mapping of planetary bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know more about how crater chronology works in practice have also a look at the Planetary Mapping Winter School 2021 practical activity “S5 – Age determination through crater counts on Lunar geological maps”, available here<\/a> after free registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
