Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing rocks are key exploration targets on Mars because of the information they can provide about magma evolution and source characteristics, implications for surface water availability and climate, and their biosignature preservation potential.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Analysis of space weathering features in lunar regolith using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows researchers to characterize the surface exposure timescale of individual grains from the Moon. TEM analysis of regolith grains from Apollo 17 scoop samples, collected from five different locations in the Taurus‐Littrow Valley (TLV), each

Use of olivine and plagioclase saturation surfaces for the petrogenetic modeling of recrystallized basic plutonic systems [PDF]
During petrogenetic studies of basic plutonic rocks, there are at least three major questions to be considered: (1) what were the relative proportions of cumulate crystals and intercumulus melt in a given sample? (2) what is the composition and variation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Chemical and Thermodynamic Constraints on the Thermal Evolution of Eucrites [PDF]
Vesta is the only differentiated asteroid with a nearly intact crust, making it the candidate for studying early planetary differentiation. It is commonly thought that the howardite, eucrite, and diogenite (HED) clan of meteorites derive from Vesta, and ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Understanding how snowmelt is partitioned into different hydrologic flowpaths/storages—and how this partitioning varies over time—is essential for predicting water availability and quality under climate variability. In this study, we examine the time‐variance of snowmelt partitioning patterns (SPP) in response to interannual variations in ...
