Accurate time and rates at which processes occur, e.g. volcanism, are critical for the interpretation of evolution of planets. Absolute time scales for planetary surfaces evolution (except the Earth and the Moon) can only be derived by linking the lunar cratering frequencies with isotopically dated samples from the Moon's surface. In the Crater Clock project we aim to develop a unique cratering chronology model.
