The mountains of the moon. Very early steps have been taken to commence a project to identify and name all of the Ribus on the Moon. This will include negative Ribus (craters with a depth of 1000 metres or more) and Lunar Sub-Ribus.

The project will begin in earnest at the end of 2024 and most likely take a year to complete. I, Daniel Quinn, am looking for a data science student (or similar) who would be interested in working on this project. He or she needs to be capable of quite complex coding in order to create an online editing site with a representation of the Moon’s surface based on an available dataset. Plus lots of other stuff. At present there is no funding, but such a project would constitute a genuinely unique academic work. Depending on availability of time, co-authorship of a Lunar Ribus publication is up for grabs.

If you are interested in discussing this project in more detail please email dan@gunung.org
