DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2016.10.008
Abstract: Abstract Mounting evidence from the SELENE, LRO, and GRAIL spacecraft suggests the presence of vacant lava tubes under the surface of the Moon. GRAIL evidence, in particular, suggests that some may be more than a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quageo.2020.101083
Abstract: Abstract Basaltic lavas provide a window into their mantle sources and the associated geodynamic processes associated with them. Obtaining absolute chronology on young basalt flows is often challenging. Some gypsum crusts in pyro-duct (lava tube)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2020.3033033
Abstract: This article intends to establish a reasonable determination criterion for nadir detection of lunar lava tube by Kaguya Lunar Radar Sounder observation. We applied radar cross section analysis to a simple lava tube model that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.907816
Abstract: Two Streptomyces strains, labeled as MZ03-37T and MZ03-48, were isolated from two different samples, a mucolite-type speleothem and a microbial mat on the walls of a lava tube from La Palma Island (Canary Islands). Phylogenetic… read more here.
