Titan's past and future: 3D modeling of a pure nitrogen atmosphere and geological implications

, 2014
Several clues indicate that Titan's atmosphere has been depleted in methane during some period of its history, possibly as recently as 0.5-1 billion years ago. It could also happen in the future.

Impact of Warmer Sea Surface Temperature on the Global Pattern of Intense Convection: Insights From a Global Storm Resolving Model

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Intense convection (updrafts exceeding 10 m s−1) plays an essential role in severe weather and Earth's energy balance. Despite its importance, how the global pattern of intense convection changes in response to warmed climates remains unclear, as ...

Atmospheric regimes and trends on exoplanets and brown dwarfs [PDF]

Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020
A planetary atmosphere is the outer gas layer of a planet. Besides its scientific significance among the first and most accessible planetary layers observed from space, it is closely connected with planetary formation and evolution, surface and interior ...

The Influence of Hydrogen Sulfide on the Optical Properties of Planetary Organic Hazes: Implications for Exoplanet Climate Modeling

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Planetary organic hazes can play a significant role in influencing a planet’s radiative balance and climate, with their impact determined by the optical properties of the haze.

The role of chaotic resonances in the solar system [PDF]

, 2001
Our understanding of the Solar System has been revolutionized over the past decade by the finding that the orbits of the planets are inherently chaotic. In extreme cases, chaotic motions can change the relative positions of the planets around stars, and ...

Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO$_2$ Weathering

, 2019
Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entirely ice-covered, are believed to be inhospitable.

The Climates of Earth’s Next Supercontinent: Effects of Tectonics, Rotation Rate, and Insolation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
We explore two possible Earth climate scenarios, 200 and 250 million years into the future, using projections of the evolution of plate tectonics, solar luminosity, and rotation rate.

Bistability of the climate around the habitable zone: a thermodynamic investigation

, 2012
The goal of this paper is to explore the potential multistability of the climate of a planet around the habitable zone. A thorough investigation of the thermodynamics of the climate system is performed for very diverse conditions of energy input and ...

Seasonal melting and the formation of sedimentary rocks on Mars, with predictions for the Gale Crater mound [PDF]

, 2012
A model for the formation and distribution of sedimentary rocks on Mars is proposed. The rate-limiting step is supply of liquid water from seasonal melting of snow or ice.

A Radiative-convective Model for Terrestrial Planets with Self-consistent Patchy Clouds

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Clouds are ubiquitous: they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.
