Interpretation of lunar geology and evolution is ongoing with the analysis of Apollo, Luna and meteoritic samples being combined with geophysical modelling and knowledge gained from remote sensing operations to develop models of lunar formation, evolution and geological diversity. The session will include invited and contributed talks as well as a pannel discussion and interactive posters with short oral introduction.
