Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Abstract Predicting the dynamics of non‐perennial river networks is essential for hydrological modeling and water resource management. Yet, long‐term monitoring campaigns remains logistically challenging, particularly in remote and poorly accessible regions.

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns
Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...

Viscoelastic Strain, Viscous Rheology, and Behavior of Experimental Lava Flows
Basaltic pāhoehoe lava flows are prevalent throughout the terrestrial bodies of the solar system. This style of volcanism represents both a predominant resurfacing mechanism of planets and natural satellites and a natural hazard to populations living ...

Deep Origin and Shallow Launch for the Etna 122 B.C. Mafic Plinian Eruption
Abstract Basaltic Plinian eruptions challenge our understanding of explosive volcanism. The 122 B.C. Plinian eruption of Etna ranks among the most powerful mafic explosive events known. Here, we combine volatile barometry of 122 B.C. from olivine‐hosted melt and fluid inclusions with comparative data from the sub‐Plinian Fall Stratified eruption at ...

Mastcam‐Z Spectrophotometric Properties of Materials at the Van Zyl Overlook, Jezero Crater
Abstract During Sols 63–65 of Mars 2020, Mastcam‐Z multispectral (442–1022 nm) images were acquired at Van Zyl Overlook (VZO), spanning phase angles from ∼0° to 150°, to model photometric parameters for seven surface units. These units included rocks, soils, regolith, and rover tracks near the Jezero landing site.

Geologically Recent Formation of Some Tesserae on Venus by Plains Deformation
Abstract Tessera is a pervasively deformed terrain type on Venus generally interpreted as the oldest preserved material on the surface. Large expanses of this terrain type are typically elevated and have been hypothesized to be felsic, perhaps analogous to Earth's continents and even to date from an era with a more Earth‐like climate earlier in Venus ...
