Proposals are solicited that focus on studies of planetary surfaces using near-infrared remote sensing or that take a model-based approach to understand the role of impact cratering in modyfying a planetary surface. Research topics include impact cratering, regolith development, and comparative planetology. Current projects include analysis of lunar spectral data, studies of the lunar surface and stratigraphy using high resolution images, crater ejecta and melt modeling, studies of small-body geology, geologic maping, and data integration. This research generally involves cross-comparison of planetary data sets; including infrared data, optical imaging, topographic data, radar, and numerical models.
