- Thermal and Magmatic Evolution of the Moon (2006, methodology): “The rational for these models is clearly evident in the global Th abundance maps generated by the LP gamma-ray spectrometer (Lawrence et al. 1998, 2000), which demonstrated that Th (and by inference KREEP) is highly concentrated within a small region of the Moon encompassing Mare Imbrium and…”
- “New” lunar meteorites: Implications for composition of the global lunar surface, lunar crust, and the bulk Moon (2005, methodology): “The surface Th concentration ratio between the hemisphere antipodal to the Procellarum basin and the hemisphere centered on Procellarum has been reduced from 0.48 in the Lawrence et al. (2000) calibration to 0.24 in the new one.”
- Evidence for water ice near the lunar poles (2001, background): “…the pattern of depressed counting rates surrounding Imbrium basin overlies locations of enhanced KREEP abundance as determined from measured enhancements in the 2.613 MeV gamma-ray line intensity [Lawrence et al., 1999, 2000], and depressions in the thermal neutron flux [Elphic et al., 1998, 1999].”
