Abstract:
This thesis presents new information about the global megaregolith of the Moon, using 2059 craters (5 to 50 km diameter) as natural probes. Iron (FeO) and titanium (TiO2) concentrations were obtained from crater ejecta blanket data over an area between 600 North to 600 South latitude derived from the 1994 Clementine mission. The average iron and titanium weight percentages for lunar crater ejecta were calculated using the US Geological Survey's ISIS software, and used to determine the variation with depth of iron (FeO) and titanium (TiO2) in the highlands, mare areas and the South Pole Aitken basin. In addition, megaregolith compositional Iron (FeO) and Titanium (TiO2) Maps and compositional Province Maps were generated, and studied in detail. The Lunar Megaregolith Iron Province Map divides the Highland areas into 2 distinct provinces of low-iron Highland I (0-3.7 FeO weight percentage) and low-medium level iron Highland II (3.8-6.4%), and the Mare and South Pole Aitken Basin each into 3 distinct provinces (6.5-9.7%, 9.8-13.6%, and 13.7-18.3%). Similarly, a Titanium Megaregolith Province Map divides the Moon globally into 5 provinces based on weight percentages of TiO2. A new finding is the Highland II Province of elevated iron concentration which surrounds basins. These elevated iron levels may be explained in terms of an "Intrusion Model". In this model, basin formation fractures the surrounding anorthositic bedrock, and the middle level anorthositic crust allows mafic (basaltic?) magma to intrude. This intrusion into the megaregolith is in the form of sills and dykes from deep mafic sources but generally does not intrude into the surface regolith. In some places however, the mafic (basaltic?) lava may have extruded onto the surface, such as near Crater 846 (15.6N 92.2W). The megaregolith, which consists of large volume breccia, would have voids and vacancies in this structure into which mafic or basaltic material could intrude. "Islands" of Highland I Province material surrounded by Highland II Province indicate this intrusion was non-uniform. Another possible explanation for the Highland II Province iron levels comes from the "Thrust Block" model, where deep mafic material has been broken into large blocks by the basin-forming events, and "thrusted" or uplifted to displace most of the overlying anorthosite bedrock, thereby mechanically mixing with the megaregolith to provide the additional iron input. However, this does entirely fit comfortably with the data in this study. A third explanation for the Highland II Province arises from the "Basin Impact Ejecta Model" such as the Imbrium Impact described by Haskin (1998). The Basin Impact Ejecta model describes the effect of basin impacts around 4.0 billion to 3.8 billion years ago in the Moon's history (Ryder, 1990; Taylor, 2001)). This model implies that basin material was ejected and deposited on a global or similar scale. However, the results of this study place severe limitations on the feasibility of the "Basin Impact Ejecta" model to explain any significant mafic input from such ejecta in forming the Highland II megaregolith material. These Province Maps provide a new dimension to the study of the Moon's crustal development and reveal a highly complex history, providing a basis for future study.

Abstract:
Abstract The origin and evolution of the Moon's magnetic field has been a major question in lunar science ever since Luna 1 made the first magnetic measurements in the vicinity of the Moon in 1959. Orbital measurements show that the magnetic field at the surface of the Moon has local scale lengths on the order of 1-100 km. While this could suggest a correlation with impact craters, most lunar magnetic anomalies don’t appear to correlate with known geologic structures, including impacts [1]. However, the magnetic field produced by impact events are spatially and temporally complex. Add in the complexity of remanence acquisition (localized regions of heating/cooling and/or shock that can produce remanence in the presence of a magnetic field) and we have the potential for a complex pattern to emerge. Wieczorek et al. [1] showed just how such complexity may play out. In their simulations, some lunar magnetic anomalies may be caused by regions of concentrated magnetic materials associated with fragments of the South Pole-Aitken impactor, especially if the impactor was differentiated with an iron core. More recently, Oliveira et al. [2] showed that magnetic anomalies associated with five large lunar basins may be caused by impact melt sheets that cooled in the presence of an early lunar dynamo. In this paper we will look at an alternative explanation for many lunar anomalies that doesn’t require the presence of a lunar dynamo. At least some lunar anomalies may be associated with a deeper, thicker yet more varied region of magnetization acquired by rocks that became hot and cooled rapidly enough during crater formation to have acquired the transient magnetic field produced by the impact itself.
