Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Syn‐ to Post‐Collisional Tectonic History of the Paleo‐Tethyan Orogenic Belt: Insights From Triassic Igneous Rocks in the North–Central Tibetan Plateau, China

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean was one of the most important global geological events which formed the framework of the East Asian continent during the early Mesozoic. The Longmu Co‐Shuanghu suture zone is considered to record closure of the main basin of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Peixe Zircon as a Quality Control Reference Material in U‐Pb Geochronology by LA‐ICP‐MS

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 369-389, June 2026.
Key Points Peixe#0 zircon was characterised for U‐Pb geochronology using CA‐ID‐TIMS, SIMS and a long‐term LA‐ICP‐MS data set. The consistent results establish Peixe#0 as a reference material for U‐Pb quality control. Trace element heterogeneity requires careful, CL‐guided spot selection.

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
A leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves. This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles.

A Common Reference Material for Mass‐Dependent Sn Isotope Compositions: An Inter‐Laboratory Calibration Approach

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 341-367, June 2026.
Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.

Anhydrous minerals in asteroid Bennu: Evidence for well‐preserved primordial components

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 963-986, June 2026.
Abstract Aqueously altered carbonaceous astromaterials are dominated by secondary minerals, but a minor fraction of primary, anhydrous silicates and oxides escape alteration, offering insight into the original composition of asteroid parent bodies. We report the mineralogy, petrology, mineral chemistry, and oxygen isotopes of anhydrous minerals—50 ...

Organic material in meteorites and the link to the origin of life

BIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Life requires specific conditions that have been, so far, only proven to meet on Earth. Though the chemical elements required to form living organism (C, H, N, O, S, etc) are widespread in the universe, the molecules that are crucial for Life, like ...

Low temperatures and high water/rock ratios in asteroid (101955) Bennu's history based on X‐ray powder diffraction of returned samples

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.
Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

Potential of VIS‐IR imaging spectroscopy and SEM‐EDS and EMPA to map the mineralogical composition of NWA 7317 (CR6)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1026-1044, June 2026.
Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.

Atmospheric dust is a global nutrient source for plants via foliar uptake

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2867-2883, June 2026.
Summary Atmospheric mineral dust is a critical nutrient supplier to marine ecosystems, but its role in terrestrial plant nutrition remains underexplored due to the assumption that nutrients are acquired solely from soils via roots. Here, we demonstrate that plants directly acquire nutrients from dust through leaves, revealing an unrecognized ...
