The Complexity of Deep Aqueous Fluids in Planetary Ultramafic Mantles
Abstract Planetary volatiles cycle through a planet's crust, mantle, and atmosphere, playing a crucial role in surface processes and habitability. Discussions of planetary volatiles traditionally focus on water, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, but fluids in contact with silicate rocks and ultramafic mantles can contain significant amounts of magnesium ...

Abstract As a major tectonic boundary along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the Longmen Shan tectonic belt (LMSTB) underwent pronounced crustal shortening and thickening during the Cretaceous. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of Cretaceous shortening and the boundary's response to far‐field tectonic forcing remain incompletely resolved.

How Does Ice Shell Geometry Shape Ocean Dynamics on Icy Moons?
Abstract A poleward‐thinning ice shell can drive circulation in the subsurface oceans of icy moons by imposing a meridional temperature gradient–colder at the equator than the pole–through the freezing point suppression due to pressure. This temperature gradient sets a buoyancy gradient, whose sign depends on the thermal expansion coefficient ...

Chemical Speciation Defines Archaeal Ammonia‐Oxidizer Distribution in Yellowstone Hot Springs
Abstract The hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) provide a natural laboratory for investigating the influence of chemical speciation and energy availability on the distribution of microbes. Among 133 inorganic chemotrophic energy supplies, total dissolved ammonia oxidation was consistently one of the highest across 63 YNP hot spring samples.

Abstract Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained. Here, we report geochemical trends in lake waters that vary across wet‐dry cycles as well as with regional location and ...
