Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...

Island life in the Cretaceous - faunal composition, biogeography, evolution, and extinction of land-living vertebrates on the Late Cretaceous European archipelago

ZooKeys, 2015
The Late Cretaceous was a time of tremendous global change, as the final stages of the Age of Dinosaurs were shaped by climate and sea level fluctuations and witness to marked paleogeographic and faunal changes, before the end-Cretaceous bolide impact ...

Microbial endolithic community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 955-962, June 2026.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Forty years later: The status of the “Big Five” mass extinctions

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Over 40 years ago, Raup and Sepkoski identified five episodes of elevated extinction in the marine fossil record that were thought to be statistically distinct, thus warranting the term the “Big Five” mass extinctions.

Situating African FinTech in Global Financial Networks

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This paper explores the geographical patterns of firm creation and investments in African FinTech and how they have evolved since the emergence of FinTech on the continent. Our findings show waves of investment, specialisation of different FinTech centres and the networks of FinTech capital.

Second‐Scale Formation of Non‐Field‐Aligned Plasma Irregularities Observed From a High‐Altitude 43‐Cassiopeiids Fireball

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude optical meteors initiating above 150 km are exceedingly rare, with confirmed observations largely confined to the Leonids. Using the Meteor and ionospheric Irregularity Observation System, we recorded a bright 43‐Cassiopeiids fireball with heterogeneous material. It initiated luminously at an exceptional altitude of 157.8 ± $\pm $

Detection of a Bolide in Jupiter's Atmosphere With Juno UVS [PDF]

, 2021
peer reviewedThe Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instrument on the Juno mission recorded transient bright emission from a point source in Jupiter's atmosphere. The spectrum shows that the emission is consistent with a 9600-K blackbody located 225 km above

Saponite Bearing Material Excavated During the Formation of a Recent 25‐m‐Diameter Impact Crater in Southeastern Arabia Terra on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), Context Imager (CTX), and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment observations were analyzed for a 25‐m‐wide impact crater and associated ejecta deposits located in the dust‐covered Arabia Terra region.

Preatmospheric Detection of a Meter-sized Earth Impactor

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
On 2020 September 18 U.S. Government (USG) sensors detected a bolide with peak bolometric magnitude of −19 over the Western Pacific. The impact was also detected by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper instrument on the GOES-17 satellite and infrasound ...

Characterizing Patterns of Resurfacing on Venus With Volcanoes and Coronae

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract One of the major research questions for Venus is the manner in which it resurfaces itself, with a near‐random distribution of a relatively few craters providing the only age constraints for the planet's surface. We use volcanoes and their temporal and spatial relationships to coronae to characterize patterns of coronal resurfacing for ...
