Local Characteristics of Sand Wave Patterns Are Governed by Underlying Sand Bank: A Linear Stability Approach

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Tidal sand waves are dynamic bedforms, observed in shelf seas. In some cases they co‐exist with tidal sand banks, larger‐scale bed features. Sand wave characteristics then vary over the sand bank, migrating anti‐cyclonically around the bank. Yet, little is known about the processes behind sand wave formation on a sand bank characterized by a ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
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 ...

Mastcam‐Z Spectrophotometric Properties of Materials at the Van Zyl Overlook, Jezero Crater

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
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.

Microbial endolithic community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 955-962, June 2026.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Heterogeneity in small aliquots of Apolllo 15 olivine-normative basalt: Implications for breccia clast studies

, 1993
Most of the recent advances in lunar petrology are the direct result of breccia pull-apart studies, which have identified a wide array of new highland and mare basalt rock types that occur only as clasts within the breccias.
