Fig. 4. Topography (top) and gravity map (bottom) of the lunar nearside. The white circles indicate the locations of 8 large volcanic complexes proposed by Spudis et al. [110]. The topographic map is derived from the LOLA 2050 spherical harmonic model (lro_ltm05_2050_sha.tab, http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/lro/lro-l-lola-3-rdr-v1/lrolol_1xxx/data/lola_shadr/) and the free-air gravity is from the newly released GL1500E model (jggrx_1500e_sha.tab, https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/grail/grail-llgrs-5-rdr-v1/grail_1001/) [126]. This figure is in a cylinder equidistant projection.
