Alteration of a Mantle‐Derived Dunite Boulder in Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In 2023, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover explored the youngest preserved deposits on the Western fan of Jezero crater, Mars: a field of meter‐scale boulders dispersed above the previously explored sandstone and siltstone units. Reflectance spectra of the boulders delineated two classes, one olivine‐bearing and one pyroxene‐bearing.

Ethanol fermentation of a diluted molasses medium by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on chrysotile

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003
In this work, the catalytic role of chrysotile support on the acceleration of alcoholic fermentation under non-aseptic conditions by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. The fermentation medium employed consisted only of diluted sugar-cane molasses.

The 2021–2022 Fukushima‐Oki Earthquakes in Northeastern Japan: Dehydration Triggered Fault Reactivation Boosted by Slab Segmentation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The 2021–2022 Fukushima‐Oki earthquakes in northeastern Japan provide a valuable opportunity to deepen our understanding of intraslab earthquakes generated by the reactivation of subducted outer‐rise bending faults. This study integrates high‐resolution seismic velocity models with numerical modeling results to investigate the roles of slab ...

Origin, Tectonic Processes, and Metasomatism of Serpentinite in the Shimanto Accretionary Complex, SW Japan: Possible Diapiric Intrusion of Serpentinized Oceanic Lithosphere

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Serpentinite plays a major role in the geodynamics of subduction zones. However, the processes by which serpentinite is incorporated into accretionary complexes, and the extent to which it interacts chemically and physically with accretionary lithologies, remain unclear.
