Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The Lower Shear Zone (LSZ) of the Monviso Massif (Western Alps) constitutes a block‐in‐matrix remnant of the subduction plate interface, now tectonically emplaced into the Western Alpine orogenic belt. Here, we combine observations from cartographic to microscopic scales, focusing on garnet‐bearing lithologies in both the mafic blocks and the ...

Spectroscopic Links among Giant Planet Irregular Satellites and Trojans
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We collect near-infrared spectra (∼0.75–2.55 μ m) of four Jovian irregular satellites and visible spectra (∼0.32–1.00 μ m) of two Jovian irregular satellites, two Uranian irregular satellites, and four Neptune Trojans.

Satellites of the Largest Kuiper Belt Objects [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 We have searched the four brightest objects in the Kuiper belt for the presence of satellites using the newly commissioned Keck Observatory Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system. Satellites are seen around three of the four objects: Pluto (whose satellite Charon is well-known), 2003 EL61, and 2003 UB313. The object 2005 FY9, the brightest Kuiper belt

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.Relative weathering indices and three‐dimensional fabric analyses demonstrate allochthonous emplacement of the Hickory Run Boulder Field via periglacial mass movement. Spatially coherent trends confirm a time‐transgressive surface formed under Pleistocene permafrost conditions, with tributary‐like integration of clasts from a secondary boulder field ...

Life, 2020 The close encounters of the Pluto–Charon system and the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth (formerly 2014 MU69) by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in 2015 and 2019, respectively, have given new perspectives on the most distant planetary bodies yet explored ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

INCLINATION MIXING IN THE CLASSICAL KUIPER BELT [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We investigate the long-term evolution of the inclinations of the known classical and resonant Kuiper belt objects (KBOs). This is partially motivated by the observed bimodal inclination distribution and by the putative physical differences between the low- and high-inclination populations.

Tracking Sediment Mixing Along the Lower Danube River From the Carpathians to the Black Sea
Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 413-420, December 2025.ABSTRACT We use detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology as a sediment provenance tracer in modern river sands to better understand how tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic processes modulate sediment transport dynamics of the Carpathians to the Black Sea source to sink system.
