The Role of Chlorate‐Driven Oxidative Weathering in Shaping Clay Deposits on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Oxidized clays and the widespread Al/Si‐over‐Fe/Mg stratigraphy on Mars imply prolonged water‐rock interactions and efficient oxidative weathering despite the largely anoxic conditions of Early Mars when most deposits formed during the climate optimum.

Enriching Paleogeographic Reconstruction Through the Integration of Bayesian Age Models Into Site‐Based Apparent Polar Wander Paths

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Apparent polar wander paths (APWPs) synthesized from paleomagnetic data are foundational to our understanding of the long‐term motions of lithospheric plates. Recent progress has highlighted the advantages of developing such paths from paleomagnetic sites that provide individual snapshots of the ancient geomagnetic field.

Formation and Alteration of Magnesite Nodules From Kunwarara, Queensland, Australia, as an Analog to Mg‐Carbonate Formation on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

Brine Entrainment During Ice Shell Growth on Icy Worlds

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The role of ocean composition in governing ice shell growth and ocean longevity on icy satellites remains poorly constrained. To address this, we develop a thermomechanical model of small to mid‐sized icy worlds that simulates ice shell growth from a saline ocean, explicitly quantifying brine entrainment through a parameterization of reactive ...
