Absolute model ages from lunar crater morphology

The degradation state of an impact crater is an indicator of its age. Previous workers have used crater degradation states to estimate ages of surfaces or geomorphological features; one example is the degree of freshness method developed by Pohn and Offield (). Here we attempted to produce an empiri...
