A reanalysis of the Apollo light scattering observations, and implications for lunar exospheric dust

Conspicuous excess brightness, exceeding that expected from coronal and zodiacal light (CZL), was observed above the lunar horizon in the Apollo 15 coronal photographic sequence acquired immediately after orbital sunset (surface sunrise). This excess brightness systematically faded as the Command Module moved farther into shadow, eventually becoming indistinguishable from the CZL background. These observations have previously been attributed to scattering by ultrafine dust grains (radius ∼0.1 microns) in the lunar exosphere, and used to obtain coarse estimates of dust concentration at several altitudes and an order-of-magnitude estimate of ∼10⁻⁹ g cm⁻² for the column mass of dust near the terminator, collectively referred to as model “0”.We have reanalyzed the Apollo 15 orbital sunset sequence by incorporating the known sightline geometries in a Mie-scattering simulation code, and then inverting the measured intensities to retrieve exospheric dust concentration as a function of altitude and distance from the terminator. Results are presented in terms of monodisperse (single grain size) dust distributions. For a grain radius of 0.10 microns, our retrieved dust concentration near the terminator (∼0.010 cm⁻³) is in agreement with model “0” at z=10 km, as is the dust column mass (∼3–6×10⁻¹⁰ g cm⁻²), but the present results indicate generally larger dust scale heights, and much lower concentrations near 1 km (<0.08 cm⁻³ vs. a few times 0.1 cm⁻³ for model “0"). The concentration of dust at high altitudes (z>50 km) is virtually unconstrained by the measurements. The dust exosphere extends into shadow a distance somewhere between 100 and 200 km from the terminator, depending on the uncertain contribution of CZL to the total brightness. These refined estimates of the distribution and concentration of exospheric dust above the lunar sunrise terminator should place new and more rigorous constraints on exospheric dust transport models, as well as provide valuable support for upcoming missions such as the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE).

Geochemical monitoring of clays for diagenetic evolution of the Paleozoic–Lower Mesozoic sequence in the northern Arabian plate: Hazro and Amanos regions,Southeastern Turkey

Clay minerals in the diagenetic/very low-grade metamorphic–sedimentary series from southeastern Anatolia in Turkey were analyzed to determine their mineralogical and chemical compositions. In the Amanos region, the lowermost unit is composed of metaclastics with primary clastic textures, as well as slaty cleavages and chlorite-mica stacks including volcanic rock intercalations. The Lower Cambrian is composed of mainly very low-grade metamorphic clastic rocks, while the Ordovician units have siliciclastic and carbonate rocks. In the Hazro region, the Late Silurian–Lower Triassic units are represented by highly diagenetic carbonate and clastic rocks. All of the rock units include illite. In addition, chlorite, mixed-layered illite–chlorite and chlorite–vermiculite are present in the Amanos region, while calcite, dolomite, kaolinite, mixed-layered illite–smectite (I–S) and glauconite occur in the Hazro region. The illites are characterized by the dominance of 2M₁ polytype in the Amanos samples; and 1M_d + 2M₁ in the Hazro samples. The I–S, glauconite and kaolin have R1 and R3, 1M and kaolinite polytypes, respectively. The illites have greater tetrahedral and lower octahedral substitutions than the I–S. Total trace element contents, elemental substitutions and chondrite-normalized trace element and REE values decrease toward illite–I–S–kaolinite. There are obvious fractionations for some major – trace and rare earth elements with respect to each other and clear enrichment with respect to the chondrite, with strong anomalies of positive for Gd and negative for P, K and Eu in the clay minerals. The textural, morphological and geochemical data indicate that kaolinite and I–S in the Hazro area occur in supergene conditions with due to a full neoformation mechanism, whereas illites in the Amanos region represent the hypogene origin. In brief, the K₂O contents, ratios of Eu/Eu^* and La_N/Lu_N and δ¹⁸O and δD values of I–S and illite exhibit notable relationships with increasing diagenetic/metamorphic grade.     

Dating of Late Pleistocene terrace deposits of the River Rhine using Uranium series and luminescence methods: Potential and limitations

Uranium-series dating of pedogenic carbonate crusts from fluvial gravels is tested using Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) ages as references. OSL dating yielded ages of 30–15 ka and 13–11 ka, which correlate with the cold periods of the Last Glacial Maximum and the Younger Dryas. These ages are internally coherent and consistent with the geological background and are thus regarded as reliable. Most of the U/Th results scatter widely in the ²³⁰Th/²³²Th vs. ²³⁴U/²³²Th isochron diagram, making regression unrealistic. Semiquantitative age estimates from the data were found to be mostly older than the OSL ages and the geological context. It is suggested that a heterogeneous initial ²³⁰Th input, not relatable to a detrital component, is responsible for the observed discrepancies. This input may be due to bacterial activities and Th transport on organic colloids. It appears necessary to avoid samples where bacteria could have contributed to carbonate precipitation. Further, the relative importance of this problem decreases with sample age, so that U/Th dating of sinters is expected to be more reliable in the >100 ka age range.     

Late Holocene dune activity in the Eastern Platte River Valley, Nebraska

Large-scale dune activity in the Nebraska Sand Hills and elsewhere on the western Great Plains has been linked to prehistoric “megadroughts” that triggered the activation of regional dune fields. The effect of megadroughts on the smaller dune fields east of the Nebraska Sand Hills has never been assessed, however. This study focuses on the Duncan dune field near the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers in eastern Nebraska. Seventeen optically stimulated luminescence age estimates were obtained and reveal two periods of dune activation that occurred between 4.4 to 3.4 ka and 0.8 to 0.5 ka. Significantly, both periods chronologically overlap large-scale dune activity identified in the Nebraska Sand Hills. Geochemical evidence indicates that the Duncan dunes received sand not only from the terrace underlying them, but also from the Loup River. These data link dune activity in the Duncan area, at least indirectly, to increased sediment supply from streams that drain the Sand Hills during megadroughts, implying the activation of the dunes occurred as an indirect response to regional megadroughts. Calculations of dune migration rates, however, argue in favor of local, drought-driven hydrologic changes as a causative factor in dune activation, in other words, a direct effect of megadroughts. Whether the impact was direct or indirect, it is highly likely that the repeated reactivation of the Duncan dunes resulted in some way from regional, large-magnitude droughts. Other paleoclimate proxies from the Great Plains tend to support this conclusion. We conclude that the megadroughts that have been identified in the Sand Hills and other Great Plains dune fields were indeed regional events with far-reaching effects.
