Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Field Observations of Intermittent Cross‐Shore Bed Load Transport on a Low‐Energy Beach
Abstract Low‐energy sandy beaches typically have a rippled bed, and the presence of bed forms can strongly affect net sediment transport rates under combined forcing of waves and currents. In case low‐energetic forcing is combined with coarse sediment, bed load transport is an important mechanism to understand transport processes on such beaches.

Acoustic-gravity waves, theory and application
Acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) propagate in the ocean under the influence of both the compressibility of sea water and the restoring force of gravity.

Generation of Submesoscale Vortices by Tidal Currents Near a Water Headland
Abstract This study investigates the generation of high‐frequency, submesoscale vortices by baroclinic tidal flow near a coastal headland off southeast Korea. Using a combination of shipboard surveys and a triangular array of three bottom‐mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers, we characterize the structure and dynamics of these motions.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Rock Physics of the Critical Zone: Models, Inversion, and Interpretation
Abstract Rock physics models link geophysical measurements with subsurface petrophysical properties, such as porosity, mineral composition, and fluid saturation. While originally developed for hydrocarbon exploration, these models are increasingly applied in the near surface for quantitative interpretation of geophysical data.

Abstract Hydrodynamics characteristics in the mainstem–tributary confluence profoundly affect the local environment and ecology. Thermal stratification widely occurs in large reservoirs, and the need to investigate hydrodynamics of mainstem–tributary confluences is urgent. Moreover, selective withdrawal is often used to regulate the outflow temperature,

Balance, gravity waves and jets in turbulent shallow water flows
This thesis contains a thorough investigation of the properties of freely decaying turbulence in a rotating shallow water layer on a sphere. A large number of simulations, covering an extensive range of Froude and Rossby numbers, have been carried out ...
