Refining constraints on fundamental lunar relationships such as crust-mantle and mantle-core boundaries in the future will require seismic arrays spanning larger epicentral distances. A promising technology for installing dense seismic arrays with minimal human effort is distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), an approach that allows a single length of fiber optic cable to act as hundreds or thousands of sensors when coupled with a DAS interrogator. While terrestrial uses of DAS technology for seismic monitoring rely on burying the cable to maximize fidelity of seismic signal transmission to the fiber, digging meters of trench to bury optical fiber on lunar or planetary surfaces is logistically infeasible. To evaluate DAS signal attenuation due to surface deployment of cable in lunar regolith, we completed earthquake detection analyses that evaluated the sensitivity of an optic-fiber DAS system to seismic signals at different burial depths. We deployed a single-mode fiber in a 10-m open-bottom wooden box filled with a lunar regolith simulant (LRS) with fiber buried at different depths within the LRS and recorded signals for four regional and local earthquakes. The results were used to identify and evaluate signal attenuation in surface-deployed fiber compared to buried fiber in the LRS. Burial depth responses to active-source signals were also evaluated similar to previous studies characterizing DAS sensitivity of surface-deployed fiber. Atmospheric noise was minimal as the cable was deployed in an indoor environment; however, where observed, atmospheric and anthropogenic noise was filtered out using the same bandpass filtering used to identify earthquake events. We found that signal attenuation of the surface-deployed fiber compared to buried fiber was relatively high in active-source experiments but was not consistently observed in earthquake signals. That burial depth is not highly correlated to attenuation of the observed earthquake signals indicates that in a noise-limited environment, placing DAS-interrogated fiber directly at the regolith surface may be a promising deployment strategy to consider for sensing remote seismic signals during lunar exploration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13199,"journal":{"name":"Icarus","volume":"445 ","pages":"Article 116848"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145322269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Growing evidence points to the involvement of mildly explosive eruptions as one of the eruption styles that contributed to the formation of distributed volcanic edifices in the volcanic province, Tharsis. This highlights a complex and dynamic eruptive evolution that occurred during the late Amazonian volcanism. Therefore, here, we report on the presence of small-scale, conical-shaped volcanic edifices located at the edge of Ceraunius Fossae in Tharsis. The association of the N-S aligned cones with a rough-surfaced lava flow enabled us to constrain the minimum age of their volcanic activity at ca. 48 Ma. Although they superficially resemble Martian scoria cones, their morphometric parameters indicate that they have a distinct and separate origin. They comprise coarser pyroclastic material such as spatter, and display an accumulation of likely volcanic bombs on the cones' slopes and at their bases, observable in the high-resolution images. Combining the sizes and distribution of the mapped individual volcanic bombs with a ballistic emplacement model enables us to calculate the exit velocity and maximum height for a given bomb density at a given launch angle. This provides a means to improve our understanding of ballistic trajectories and distances over which the pyroclastic material can be transported on Mars. Moreover, we argue that the portfolio of Martian volcanic edifices is more diverse than currently recognized. The use of high-resolution remotely sensed volcanological mapping could provide critical information about volcanic products and, consequently, the magma fragmentation, which depends on the eruptivity, controlled by magma composition and volatile contents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13199,"journal":{"name":"Icarus","volume":"445 ","pages":"Article 116870"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145462683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
