Seismic wave propagation in icy ocean worlds
, 2017 Seismology was developed on Earth and shaped our model of the Earth's interior over the 20th century. With the exception of the Philae lander, all in situ extraterrestrial seismological effort to date was limited to other terrestrial planets. All have in

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

Orbits and Masses of the Small Satellites of Pluto
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We present a new orbit and mass solution for the four small satellites of Pluto: Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. We have reanalyzed all available observations of the Pluto system obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope from 2005 to 2019 with the ACS ...

Multi-Layer Hydrostatic Equilibrium of Planets and Synchronous Moons: Theory and Application to Ceres and to Solar System Moons [PDF]
, 2014 The hydrostatic equilibrium of multi-layer bodies lacks a satisfactory theoretical treatment despite its wide range of applicability. Here we show that by using the exact analytical potential of homogeneous ellipsoids we can obtain recursive analytical ...

Covariates influence optimal camera‐trap survey design for occupancy modelling
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We investigated the impact of covariates (e.g., habitat quality, temperature) on the optimal design of camera trap surveys to estimate species occupancy. Using simulations of a virtual species, we found that increasing the number of cameras consistently reduced error across a range of covariate effects.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 305-323., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
