Geological Map of the Humboldtianum Basin and its Deposits
This project was completed during my time as an intern for Paul D. Spudis at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) from Jun. 2016 to Aug. 2016.

The purpose of this project was to create a new geological map, using ArcGIS, of the lunar Humboldtianum basin using image and topographic data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and to use chemical concentration data from Clementine, and Lunar Prospector to better understand the geochemical makeup of the basin ejecta deposits and crustal target. In addition, I also used these data to determine the influence of the younger Imbrium and Crisium basins on Humboldtianum itself.
