Origin of Long‐Wavelength Variations in Crustal Thickness on Rocky Planets
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Long‐wavelength crustal thickness variations are observed on telluric planets, particularly on Mars and the Moon whereas Mercury appears to lack such variations. They may stem from two early‐stage positive feedback mechanisms that can emerge in stagnant‐lid planets.

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, complements conventional X‐ray CT and enables the detection of hydrous ...

Crustal Density Differences Along Mars' Dichotomy Boundary From Gravity and Topography
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Seismic data for Mars has provided constraints on the thickness of its crust, but its density and how much it varies spatially, especially across the hemispherical dichotomy, is still undetermined. We apply a novel constraint in the analysis of spacecraft tracking data to determine Mars' gravity field that allows for the determination of the ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.
