Some facts: as a postdoc, I haven't started my research career yet 😂

Lab made lunar analogs, the color matches really well with the lunar soil

A nice visit to UK and catch up with old and new friends. Finally back to H-town tomorrow!

We find that depending on mantle comps, melting conditions vary. But under the same assumps, farside mantle melted in a shallower and cooler place, this may suggest melting happened in a thinner lithosphere and contri to crustal dichotomy by a greater extent of decompression melting 4/5

Therefore we build a framework in anticipation of CE6 mission, we reconstruct the mantle melting conditions to generate these farside lavas by using remote sensing data. In particular, we wonder if melting in both sides are different and may contribute to the crustal dichotomy 3/5

South Pole-Aitken basin (SPA) is the window to study farside magmatism, perhaps in particular may answer the puzzle of lunar dichotomy of crustal thickness and composition. The recent Chang’E 6 mission just returned the farside samples from Apollo basin within the SPA 2/5

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
