Project summary

The goal of this project is to obtain a consensus at international level on the data analysis of Apollo passive seismic experiments in order to provide both a reference data set with appropriate error bars and an ensemble of 1D seismological reference model of the Moon internal structure. These reference data analysis and 1D seismological models will clarify what we know and what we don’t know of the internal structure of the Moon. In addition, the output of this study will facilitate both the access to Moon seismological data sets and the interpretation of seismological Moon models by the international community. The international team, whose members come from various teams in the world, will conduct the analysis of error of arrival times and location of the moonquakes, build a reference data set with error bars and construct an ensemble of 1D seismological reference models of the Moon internal structure through Bayesian velocity inversion.

Our First meeting will be in Bern during the week from 23rd to 27th October 2017.
