Alteration of Feldspar‐Rich Rocks on Ancient Mars and Its Possible Link to Ca/Fe‐Rich Carbonates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Feldspar‐rich rocks have increasingly been discovered on the martian surface. They may have been an important part of the ancient martian crust and may be related to Ca/Fe‐rich carbonates (one of two types of carbonates on Mars and the other being Mg‐rich carbonates), but compared to mafic rocks, their interaction with water on ancient Mars is

Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

Late‐Stage Debris Flows Eroded Aeolis Mons in Gediz Vallis, Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract How the ancient climate of Mars transitioned to its current cold, hyperarid state is recorded by the sedimentary rocks preserved on its surface. Gale crater, the Curiosity rover landing site, is one such location, where the central mountain, Aeolis Mons, preserves an extensive sedimentary record. Curiosity has demonstrated that the Aeolis Mons

Effect of Unstable Water Flow on Grain Transport: Insights From Laboratory Experiments Under Reduced Atmospheric Pressure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Nowadays, Mars presents an environment characterized by low atmospheric pressure (∼6 mbar), which profoundly alters water‐driven surface processes known from Earth. Under these conditions, water rapidly boils, cools, and stabilizes near the triple point, often freezing, which strongly limits its ability to transport sediment.

The Case for a Completely Solid Martian Mantle—No Basal Magma Layer Extant

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Recent results from the Mars InSight mission suggested the existence of a molten silicate layer atop the core‐mantle boundary. Geophysical modeling of this layer suggested that it must be denser than the overlying mantle but less dense than the core, and have either a viscosity similar to that of the overlying solid mantle or a strong chemical

Ice Cloud and Dust Climatologies Over 4 Martian Years From TGO/NOMAD‐UVIS Nadir Retrieval

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We generate climatologies of ice cloud and dust optical depth derived from the NOMAD/UVIS nadir measurements onboard ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) for almost four Martian Years (MY), from mid MY34 to mid MY38. Our retrieval algorithm has been updated with new results for aerosol models and surface reflectance.
