Defining soil: Proposals of zero‐states, active layer, and págousols (from ice parent materials) to fundamentally expand soil science

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Recent publications in soil science have reopened discussions over how soil and soil science should be defined, reflecting productive tension between historical constructs and the evolving frontiers of the discipline. While new definitions offered over the past decade provide valuable perspectives, they inevitably rely on past conventions and ...

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...

Visible‐Shortwave Infrared (VSWIR) Spectral Parameters for the Lunar Trailblazer High‐Resolution Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper (HVM3)

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer smallsat mission High‐resolution Volatiles and Minerals Moon Mapper (HVM3) science instrument was designed to acquire targeted spectral image cubes of the lunar surface at visible to shortwave infrared (VSWIR) wavelengths (0.6–3.6 μm) in an effort to understand the distribution, abundance, and form (OH, H2O, ice) of lunar

A Simplified Ordinary Differential Equation for the Surface Temperature of Airless Bodies

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In this work, we develop simplified surface temperature models for spherical bodies with insignificant atmospheres, able to produce a latitude/longitude temperature map that includes seasonality effects. We start from the commonly employed depth‐dependent model by Spencer et al. (1989, https://doi.org/10.1016/0019‐1035(89)90182‐6) based on the

Diurnal Temperature Variability at Latitudinally Distinct Sites on the Moon

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The thermophysical environment of the Moon plays a crucial role for future exploration, resource utilization and also in understanding its geological evolution. While global‐scale surface temperature distributions have been reasonably well constrained through numerical modeling and orbiter observations, recent in situ measurements have ...
