Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Elevated mercury concentrations in humans of Madre de Dios, Peru. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The enormous increase in practically unregulated mining in Madre de Dios Peru is leading to massive release of liquid elemental mercury to the environment. Rapidly increasing global prices for gold are causing a massive upsurge in artisanal mining in the

RELIEF OF MERCURY AND THE MOON: FROM MORPHOMETRY TO MORPHOLOGICAL MAPPING [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 The MESSENGER mission (2011–2015) gives us an opportunity to gain new knowledge about Mercury which is still the least explored planet of the terrestrial group.

The Intra-Mercurial Planet Or Planets [PDF]
Nature, 1876 THE question of the existence of one or more planetary bodies revolving within the orbit of Mercury is again revived by Weber's observation of a round black spot just within the sun's eastern limb, on the afternoon of April 4 in the present year which had not been visible on the same morning, and early on the following day had disappeared. The position

The chemical case for Mercury mantle stripping
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019 Mercury, the Solar System’s innermost planet, has an unusually massive core prompting speculation that the planet lost silicate after it formed. Using the unusually high sulfur and low iron composition of its surface and space geodetic constraints on its

A transient enhancement of Mercury’s exosphere at extremely high altitudes inferred from pickup ions
Nature Communications, 2020 Mercury has a global dayside exosphere that is very tenuous and does not extend far from the planet. Here, the authors show enhancement of neutral densities at high altitudes inferred from pickup ions that is most likely caused by the impact of a ...

The Dynamical Consequences of a Super-Earth in the Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Placing the architecture of the solar system within the broader context of planetary architectures is one of the primary topics of interest within planetary science. Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a large range of system architectures, many of which

A Reanalysis of the Composition of K2-106b: An Ultra-short-period Super-Mercury Candidate
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present a reanalysis of the K2-106 transiting planetary system, with a focus on the composition of K2-106b, an ultra-short-period, super-Mercury candidate. We globally model existing photometric and radial velocity data and derive a planetary mass and
