Differentiating Plumes and Local Torus Segments of Enceladus

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Enceladus's south polar plumes and their surrounding torus segments (local plasma regions formed by plume material diffusion) are key to understanding its magnetospheric interaction; however, clear observational criteria to distinguish them remain lacking.

Impact Reactivation of a Hydrothermal System in Basalt in the Vargeão Dome Impact Structure, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract As hydrous minerals have been observed in impact craters on Mars, impact‐generated hydrothermal systems (IGHSs) have been considered as potential habitats for life on that planet. The Vargeão Dome, a 12 km wide impact structure in southern Brazil, was formed in basalts with at least two hydrothermal alteration stages.

Origin of the Bulge Topography Within Caloris Basin, Mercury

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Caloris basin on Mercury has a massive circular bulge topography imprinted with unique fault sets. A variety of deformational processes have been proposed to have influenced their formation, including both global contraction and basin evolution, as well as the deposition and weight of the volcanic infill.

A Study on CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ Supersaturation in the Martian Southern Polar Night Using Mars Global Surveyor Radio Occultation Profiles Rederived With Mars Climate Sounder Temperature Climatology

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We investigate CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ supersaturation in the Martian southern polar night using rederived vertical profiles from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) radio occultation (RO) measurements. Supersaturation, which affects not only local condensation but also the polar and global atmospheric dynamics, occurs when temperatures fall below the ...

On the Possibility of Melting Water Ice During the Recent Past of Mars: Implications for the Formation of Gullies

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The formation of gullies on Mars has often been attributed to the melting of (sub)surface water ice. However, melting‐based hypotheses generally overlook key processes: (a) sublimation cooling by latent heat absorption, (b) the non‐stability of ice where melting conditions can be reached, and (c) the particular microclimates of gullied slopes.

Assemblage, archive, and ancestor: Developing more‐than‐human historical geography with salmon

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2026.
This paper interrogates recent geographic literature on the more‐than‐human archive and argues that there needs to be more specificity when conceptualising and researching the more‐than‐human. It then answers this call for specificity by theorising three modes of more‐than‐human historical geography that are developed through empirical encounters with ...
