Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Gravity Wave Activity in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere During Hurricane Sam
Abstract Multi‐instrument observations of gravity wave (GW) activity during Hurricane Sam (2021) were made using AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) satellite data, ERA5 reanalysis, and TIMED/SABER temperature profiles. Two GW extraction methods, vertical high‐pass filtering and empirical mode decomposition, were applied to quantify wave‐induced ...

Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas
Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

Abstract Medium‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs) are prominent wave‐like structures in the ionosphere, with complex generation mechanisms involving both atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) and electrodynamic instabilities such as the Perkins instability (PI).

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...

Alteration of Feldspar‐Rich Rocks on Ancient Mars and Its Possible Link to Ca/Fe‐Rich Carbonates
Abstract Feldspar‐rich rocks have increasingly been discovered on the martian surface. They may have been an important part of the ancient martian crust and may be related to Ca/Fe‐rich carbonates (one of two types of carbonates on Mars and the other being Mg‐rich carbonates), but compared to mafic rocks, their interaction with water on ancient Mars is

Late‐Stage Debris Flows Eroded Aeolis Mons in Gediz Vallis, Gale Crater, Mars
Abstract How the ancient climate of Mars transitioned to its current cold, hyperarid state is recorded by the sedimentary rocks preserved on its surface. Gale crater, the Curiosity rover landing site, is one such location, where the central mountain, Aeolis Mons, preserves an extensive sedimentary record. Curiosity has demonstrated that the Aeolis Mons

Abstract Nowadays, Mars presents an environment characterized by low atmospheric pressure (∼6 mbar), which profoundly alters water‐driven surface processes known from Earth. Under these conditions, water rapidly boils, cools, and stabilizes near the triple point, often freezing, which strongly limits its ability to transport sediment.

Characterization of Dust in Saturn's Rings Using Cassini Spacecraft Data
Abstract The dust distribution in Saturn's rings is investigated using dust impacts registered by the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument onboard the Cassini spacecraft. Dust impacts, recorded as spiky signals in electric field waveforms, are used to determine profiles of impact rates and amplitudes of spikes during individual equatorial ...
