Atmospheric Evolution on Low-gravity Waterworlds [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Low-gravity waterworlds (M ≲ 0.1 M⊕) are of interest for their potential habitability. The weakly bound atmospheres of such worlds have proportionally larger radiative surfaces and are more susceptible to escape.

Planetary evolution with atmospheric photoevaporation [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. Observations have revealed in the Kepler data a depleted region separating smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes. This can be explained as an evaporation valley between planets with and without H/He that is caused by atmospheric escape ...

Earth: Atmospheric Evolution of a Habitable Planet. [PDF]
, 2018 Our present-day atmosphere is often used as an analog for potentially habitable exoplanets, but Earth's atmosphere has changed dramatically throughout its 4.5 billion year history. For example, molecular oxygen is abundant in the atmosphere today but was

Cross‐Orogen Granite Migration as an Indicator of Slab Rollback Along Eastern Gondwana
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Slab rollback during subduction plays a key role in controlling continental growth at convergent plate boundaries. The dynamics of currently subducting slabs can be precisely constrained using geophysical techniques. In contrast, ancient episodes of slab

Evolution of the Earth's Atmosphere [PDF]
Science, 1967 We living things are a late outgrowth of the metabolism of our Galaxy. The carbon that enters so importantly into our composition was cooked in the remote past in a dying star. From it at lower temperatures nitrogen and oxygen were formed. These, our indispensable elements, were spewed out into space in the exhalations of red giants and such stellar ...

True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal what they are made of and how.

Atmospheric evolution of molecular-weight-separated brown carbon from biomass burning
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 . Biomass burning is a major source of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC), and through its absorption of UV/VIS radiation, it can play an important role in the planetary radiative balance and atmospheric photochemistry.

The Search for Atmospheric Laminar Channels: Experimental Results and Method Dissemination
Sensors, 2021 In this paper, a practical application of theoretical developments found in our previous works is explored in relation to atmospheric lidar data. Multifractal structures, previously named “laminar channels”, have been identified in atmospheric profiles ...

Origin and Evolution of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1980 Spacecraft and groundbased observations of the atmospheres of solar system objects have provided a definition of their present characteristics and have yielded clues about their past history. Table 1 presents a summary of our current knowledge of the atmospheric properties of all the planets, except Pluto, and several satellites.
