LIBS Elemental Mapping of a Feldspathic Lunar Meteorite: Insights for In Situ Exploration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract To meet the objectives of the many robotic and human missions planned for the Moon in the coming decade, new scientific instruments are currently under development. Laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a robust technique for quantifying elemental abundances by focusing a pulsed laser to generate a plasma and collecting its emission ...

A Principal Component Index for Identifying and Surveying Martian Chloride Salts Using THEMIS Multispectral Thermal Infrared Images

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Martian chloride salt deposits were first identified by Osterloo et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1150690) and surveyed by Osterloo et al. (2010, https://doi.org/10.1029/2010je003613) primarily using thermal infrared data acquired by the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) onboard the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft.

Stratigraphy Preserved on the Jezero Crater Rim Reveals Repeated Impacts on Early Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The outer slopes of the western Jezero crater rim are hypothesized to expose sections of Early‐ to Pre‐Noachian crust uplifted by the Jezero impact, providing an excellent opportunity to investigate the earliest geologic processes active on terrestrial planets.

Modeling the Water‐Ice Bounding Layers in the Massive CO2 Ice Deposits, South Pole of Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Recent orbital radar observations point to a massive reservoir of solid CO2 near Mars' South Pole, which contains bounding layers (BLs) of water ice. Here, we examine the impact of the water ice bounding layers on the thermo‐mechanical behavior of the MCID.

Stable carbon isotope evolution of formaldehyde on early Mars

Scientific Reports
Organic matter in the Martian sediments may provide a key to understanding the prebiotic chemistry and habitability of early Mars. The Curiosity rover has measured highly variable and 13C-depleted carbon isotopic values in early Martian organic matter ...
