The papers describe earth-based and in situ surface measurements of the thermal characteristics of lunar-type materials. A geophysical interpretation of the thermal history of the moon is given. Microwave emission from the moon and radar mapping of lunar surface roughness are studied. Lunar thermal aspects from Surveyor data, lunar surface temperatures from Apollo 11 data, the development of an in situ thermal conductivity measurement for the lunar heat flow experiment, and the Apollo 15 lunar heat flow measurement are reviewed. Thermal properties of granulated materials, thermal property measurements on lunar material returned by Apollo 11 and 12 missions, and thermal characteristics of lunar surface roughness are discussed. Individual items are abstracted in this issue.
