We are happy to announce our first project publication on the Project Repository Journal. The article presents the VOLARIS project, which combines laboratory experiments and numerical modelling to investigate how physical, chemical, and thermal processes drive the migration, stability, and distribution of water on and beneath the lunar surface. By accounting for factors such as micro-scale shadowing, surface roughness, and variable temperature cycles, the research aims to improve predictions of where lunar water accumulates and to support future exploration, planetary protection, and resource utilization efforts.
