Seasonal Ice Cover Could Allow Liquid Lakes to Persist in a Cold Mars Paleoclimate
Abstract Geomorphic and stratigraphic studies of Mars prove that extensive liquid water flowed and pooled on the surface early in Mars' history. Martian paleoclimate models, however, have difficulty simulating climate conditions warm enough to maintain liquid water on early Mars.

3D Simulations Demonstrate Propagating Thermohaline Convection for Polluted White Dwarfs
Polluted white dwarfs (WDs) with small surface convection zones deposit significant concentrations of heavy elements to the underlying radiative interior, presumably driving thermohaline convection.

Astrophysical turbulence modeling
The role of turbulence in various astrophysical settings is reviewed. Among the differences to laboratory and atmospheric turbulence we highlight the ubiquitous presence of magnetic fields that are generally produced and maintained by dynamo action.

Abstract The carbon sequestration capacity of the biological carbon pump (BCP) is determined by surface ocean carbon fixation and the transportation of fixed carbon to the ocean interior, which is closely linked to the trophic structure of planktonic ecosystem.

“Halfway to Rayleigh” and Other Insights into the Rossby Wave Instability
The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is the fundamental nonaxisymmetric radial shear instability in disks. The RWI can facilitate disk accretion, set the shape of planetary gaps, and produce large vortices. It arises from density and/or temperature features,

Low Mach Number Modeling of Type Ia Supernovae. IV. White Dwarf Convection
We present the first three-dimensional, full-star simulations of convection in a white dwarf preceding a Type Ia supernova, specifically the last few hours before ignition.

Abstract For over a century, alluvial river terraces have been used as archives of tectonic deformation or changes in water discharge, sediment supply, and sea level. Despite this long history, such efforts remain challenging: using terraces as deformation markers requires knowledge of their initial geometry, and most attempts to attribute terrace ...

Hydrodynamical Simulations of Proton Ingestion Flashes in Type I X-Ray Bursts
We perform the first multidimensional fluid simulations of thermonuclear helium ignition underneath a hydrogen-rich shell. This situation is relevant to Type I X-ray bursts on neutron stars that accrete from a hydrogen-rich companion.

Abstract Anthropogenic climate change affects regional hydrological cycles and poses significant challenges to the sustainable supply of freshwater. The Central China water tower (CCWT) is the key source region feeding the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and its runoff is indispensable for the surrounding mega‐city clusters. Here we present a reconstruction

The physics of turbulence in magnetized plasmas remains an unresolved problem. The most poorly understood aspect is intermittency—spatiotemporal fluctuations superimposed on the self-similar turbulent motions.
