Abstract

The Apollo missions set up a seismic network on the nearside of the Moon (1969-1977), which dataset was recently re-investigated to clarify the mean lunar crustal thickness. Here we go a step further with the same data: we investigated the lateral variations of crustal thickness. We will present the first crustal thickness map made from seismic data and compare it to results from gravity analysis.
