Advanced aqueous alteration in primitive meteorites: Micro‐ to nanoscale studies of CR1 iron sulfides

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents micro‐ to nanoscale observations of primary nebular and secondary parent body iron sulfides in the CR1 GRO 95577. Despite the extensive alteration of the bulk sample, some primary sulfides managed to avoid alteration, having originally formed in the solar nebula during chondrule formation by either fission‐sulfidization or

LifeMet: Report on the 2024–2025 meteorite recovery expedition in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica for the study of microbe–meteorite interactions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the discovery of nine meteorites near the Yamato mountains in 1969, Antarctica has been recognized as a superb location for meteorite recovery. While Antarctic recovery expeditions prioritize meteorite preservation for mineralogical and planetary studies, meteorites are not typically collected for biological applications.

The role of composition in the spectral evolution of carbonaceous asteroids as informed by Bennu sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...

Environmental influences on the maximum quantum yield of terrestrial primary production

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Temperature and aridity effects on terrestrial ecosystems' intrinsic quantum yield. Summary Historically, terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) have assigned the intrinsic (maximum) quantum yield of photosynthesis (ϕ0)$$ {\phi}_0\Big) $$ a constant value for each plant functional type. However, experimental studies have shown that ϕ0$$ {\phi}_0 $$ – when

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century

Earth's Future
The top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) albedo controls the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and is influenced by the reflectivity of both the atmosphere and surface.

Spectral characterization of three wearable electronic ultraviolet radiation dosimeters

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation poses significant public health risks, including DNA damage and skin‐related pathologies. Wearable electronic UV dosimeters enable accurate studies and quantification of solar UV‐radiation exposure on an individual level. Due to variations in the spectral distribution of solar radiation, the spectral mismatch

Methods for substituting onsite ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Three methods for substituting on‐site ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure measurements were investigated. Assuming spatial persistency of measurements from high‐grade instruments delivers lowest uncertainties up to distances of 82 km.

Reference wet grasslands to support conservation and restoration assessments in the Brazilian Savanna

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassy wetlands of the Cerrado provide key ecosystem services but remain largely overlooked and are rapidly disappearing, threatened by land use change and climate‐driven changes in hydrological cycles. As restoration initiatives are urgent, reference ecosystems and robust indicators are essential to guide conservation and ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.
