Want to know the lunar sulfur evolution from Apollo to Chang’e-5 mantle? Check out our new GCA paper! A new sulfur content at sulfide saturation (SCSS) model is also attached that is suitable for sulfides with variable metal-sulfur ratio.

Mantle Melting Conditions of Mare Lavas on South Pole–Aitken Basin of Lunar Farside Remote sensing data of the South Pole–Aitken basin are utilized to estimate lunar mantle-derived primitive melt compositions Calculations of multiple saturation of primary melts with mantle miner...

Where and how the lavas in farside South Pole were generated? In this work led by Rice Uni, together with Raj Dasgupta @dianji.bsky.social @cintylee.bsky.social and collaborators, we explore the possibilities with a petrological approach 1/5

Tomorrow at 8:55, waterway 5, I will talk about our recent work about at what conditions the farside mantle melted to generate the surface lavas of South Pole-Aitken basin #LPSC2025

What is the origin of the young Chang’e-5 mare basalts? -Tomorrow (Monday) at 2:50 in the #LPSC2025 Waterway 1, I'll present a joint study that reveals the presence of garnet in the young lunar mantle, as a consequence of lunar cumulate mantle overturn.

How did S inventory evolve in the lunar mantle? - Tomorrow (Friday) morning Board 3015 at #AGU24, I'll present a new model designed for lunar fO2, that can calculate the S solubility of silicate melts in equilibrium with sulfides of different metal/sulfur, and its application to the lunar mantle.
