Abstract: Abstract Ages of geological units of planetary bodies are determined from impact crater counts on their surface. These ages are model-dependent, and several models largely used in the community assume a constant production function and… read more here.

Abstract: 14 Longitudinal striae are a shared characteristic of long run-out landslides and layered ejecta 15 crater deposits. They appear to be a fundamental feature of disintegrated mass flows, 16 but their formation and the required… read more here.
