Graham Ryder died in January 2002 at the age of 53. He was a Staff Scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Science Institute in Houston, TX for most of his professional life, studying lunar petrology and planetary impacts. For many years he was the senior editor of the Proceedings of the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, and he was the senior editor of Geological Society of America Special Paper 307, The Cretaceous-Tertiary Event and Other Catastrophes in Earth History. He was the major advocate for the 3.8 Ga lunar impact cataclysm and was just beginning to publish on correlations of the early lunar impact record to that of the other inner planets at the time of his death. Graham's abstract to the Rubey Colloquium was never presented. Although Graham made many of the points in this abstract to lunar science audiences, he certainly would have wanted these views to be shared with the Astrobiology community. We have taken the liberty of publishing this abstract with the Rubey proceedings, with only a few minor revisions to include reference to some recently published papers. These revisions were recommended by Gary R. Byerly, who reviewed this abstract for publication.
格雷厄姆·赖德于2002年1月去世，享年53岁。在其职业生涯的大部分时间里，他是德克萨斯州休斯顿市月球与行星科学研究所的一名科研人员，研究月球岩石学和行星撞击。多年来，他一直担任《月球与行星科学会议论文集》的高级编辑，也是美国地质学会特别论文307《白垩纪-第三纪事件及地球历史上的其他灾难》的高级编辑。他是38亿年前月球撞击灾变的主要倡导者，在去世时刚刚开始发表关于早期月球撞击记录与其他内行星撞击记录相关性的文章。格雷厄姆在鲁比研讨会上的摘要从未发表过。尽管格雷厄姆向月球科学领域的受众阐述了这篇摘要中的许多观点，但他肯定希望这些观点能与天体生物学界分享。我们冒昧地将这篇摘要与鲁比会议论文一起发表，仅做了一些小的修订，以纳入对一些最近发表论文的引用。这些修订是由加里·R·拜利建议的，他审阅了这篇摘要以供发表。
