Analysis of impact crater populations and the geochronology of planetary surfaces in the inner solar system
CI Fassett - Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Analyzing the density of impact craters on planetary surfaces is the only known technique for
learning their ages remotely. As a result, crater statistics have been widely analyzed on the …
