The role of dynamics on the habitability of an Earth-like planet

open access: yes, 2014
From the numerous detected planets outside the Solar system, no terrestrial planet comparable to our Earth has been discovered so far. The search for an Exo-Earth is certainly a big challenge which may require the detections of planetary systems ...

Futures of Everyday Life: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Future Personas in Scenarios

open access: yesFUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 8, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Scenario reports, holding a long‐standing tradition in foresight and futures studies, act as an essential document for organizations to prepare for possible, plausible, and alternative futures. Focusing on descriptions and representations of everyday life, we examined 29 future persona narratives from six publications—covering a wide field ...

Exomoon habitability constrained by energy flux and orbital stability

open access: yes, 2012
Detecting massive satellites of extrasolar planets has now become feasible, which led naturally to questions about their habitability. In a previous study we presented constraints on the habitability of moons from stellar and planetary illumination as ...

Extremely Tenuous, Dusty Terrestrial Atmospheres Remain Stable against Global Collapse: An Argument for Arid Planet Habitability in the Trappist-1 System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The potential habitability of tidally locked planets orbiting M stars remains uncertain. However, recent observations with JWST and numerous theoretical studies investigating atmospheric evolution over time suggest that thick atmospheres (>1 bar) with ...

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

THEO Concept Mission: Testing the Habitability of Enceladus's Ocean

open access: yes, 2016
Saturn's moon Enceladus offers a unique opportunity in the search for life and habitable environments beyond Earth, a key theme of the National Research Council's 2013-2022 Decadal Survey. A plume of water vapor and ice spews from Enceladus's south polar

Microbial mediation and climatic control on dolomite precipitation in a hypersaline lake: Insights from Salinas Lake, southern Iberia

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The cyclical nature of aridity and humidity led to the alternating deposition of dolomite‐rich and calcite‐rich sediments. During arid phases, the lake hydrology and growth of microbial mats under evaporative and hypersaline environment favors the precipitation of dolomite.

Seasonal Ice Cover Could Allow Liquid Lakes to Persist in a Cold Mars Paleoclimate

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Geomorphic and stratigraphic studies of Mars prove that extensive liquid water flowed and pooled on the surface early in Mars' history. Martian paleoclimate models, however, have difficulty simulating climate conditions warm enough to maintain liquid water on early Mars.
