Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Carlo method to evolve a range (0.006–92.5 bar) of initial atmospheres at Mars, Earth, and Venus under bombardment of 5×106 $5\times 1{0}^{6}$ impactors using seven ...

Aluminum Phyllosilicate and Jarosite Formation Through Alteration of Reworked Al/Si‐Rich Volcaniclastic Sediments in Nili Fossae, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Aluminum phyllosilicates occur in 1–10s of km2 exposures of Noachian (∼3.7 Ga) rock across Mars and typically appear stratigraphically above Fe/Mg‐phyllosilicates. These units have been proposed to represent pedogenic basalt weathering sequences.

The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Impact‐generated crater rays are well‐documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high‐albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays are significantly rarer and discernible only through thermal imaging due to their lower thermal inertia compared to surrounding terrain.

Subsurface Structure and Morphometry of the Wrinkle Ridges in the Late Amazonian Volcanic Unit on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wrinkle ridges are widespread compressional tectonic features on Mars and are important records of the planet's global contractional history. However, their formation, evolution and subsequent modification by other geologic processes remain poorly constrained.

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...
