Origin of Late Noachian‐Early Hesperian Valley Networks on Mars: Insights From Landform Evolution and Ice Sheet Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dendritic valley networks on Mars have been cited as evidence for a warm and wet Noachian Mars, permitting rainfall precipitation and surface runoff. However, the climatic conditions required to sustain rainfall on early Mars remain debated.

Characterization of Mass Wasting Events on Lunar Maria Using Mini‐RF Radar Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Evidence of mass wasting has been observed on the Moon since at least the Apollo era. Surface features indicative of mass wasting processes are traditionally characterized geomorphologically using visible images. In this study, we aim to better understand mass wasting features via their radar properties, which can provide insights into the ...

An Aeolian Depositional Sequence Shaped by Near‐Surface Water at the Base of the Layered Sulfate Unit, Gale Crater, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The basal strata of the orbitally defined Layered Sulfate unit (LSu) in Gale crater, Mars, marks the end of a major mineralogical transition from clay‐to sulfate‐bearing stratigraphy. This has previously been attributed to a period of significant aridification of Gale's climate. Here, we present ground‐based observations by the Curiosity rover

Quantifying co-seismic and post-seismic erosion using geomorphic change detection following the Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, New Zealand

open access: yes
<p dir="ltr">Mountain belts are built by uplift and deformation, the associated earthquakes commonly triggering widespread and destructive landsliding across the landscape. The quantification of co-seismic landslide erosion is important because post-seismic observations reveal enhanced mass wasting and fluvial transport of sediment following a ...

Aspect Asymmetry in Martian Gullies: A Topographic Signature of Their Formation Process?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On Mars, erosional‐depositional landforms named gullies provide natural experiments for studying the topographic signature of the processes that act on hillslope evolution. High‐resolution topographic data were used to quantitatively compare the steepness of opposing walls in gully alcoves incised into ice‐rich slopeside mantling deposits.
