Laser Ablation Sampling With Low‐Power Plasma: A LA‐MIP‐MS Instrument for Spaceflight

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a commonly used ion source for mass spectrometry‐based chemical analysis of a wide range of materials. Traditional ICP ion sources use high power (> 1000 W) and significant gas flow (> 10 L/min), rendering them unsuitable for spaceflight, as they are too resource‐intensive for planetary spacecraft.

Cooling climate across last interglacial high stands on San Salvador and Great Inagua, The Bahamas

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Temperature data comparison with last interglacial mollusc clumped isotope data from this study, as well as from Bermuda (Minnebo et al., 2024; Zhang et al., 2021). The ‘later’ and ‘earlier’ ages within MIS 5e refer to Reef II and Reef I, respectively, for Bahamas data.

Whitings in the Red Sea

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
We present the first documentation of whitings in the Red Sea, observed in a lagoonal environment. These events are linked to cascading offshore dense waters that liberate trapped sea floor nutrients, triggering algal blooms and elevating alkalinity, which is buffered by direct CaCO3 precipitation—contributing to the accumulation of aragonite mud in ...

Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.

Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Analyzing Geomagnetic Data From the Dusheti Observatory During the Intense Magnetic Storms of 2024

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic storms, intense disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere, pose risks to both technology and human activity in space. In this study, we analyzed geomagnetic field measurements from the Dusheti Observatory in Georgia during the intense geomagnetic storms of March 3, March 24, and 11 May 2024.

Applying Hpo Indices to Empirical Thermospheric Density Models During Geomagnetic Storms

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accurate atmospheric drag modeling is essential for precise orbit determination and prediction of Low Earth Orbit satellites. A key component is the thermospheric density, typically estimated using empirical models driven by geomagnetic activity indices such as the 3‐hr Kp or ap.

Fracture‐Assisted Pressure Solution Creep of Granite: An Example From the Mont Blanc Massif, Western Alps

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Mont Blanc granite, as other deformed granites, has splitting properties attributed to two perpendicular planes: one formed by aligned fractures and the other by aligned micas in foliation planes. It is shown that this microstructure results from ductile deformation with stress‐driven dissolution of quartz and feldspar that passively ...
