Microstructure Controls Sublimation Timescales of Exposed Salt‐Rich Ices on Icy Worlds
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Salt‐rich water ice at the surfaces of icy worlds, for example, Europa, Enceladus, and Ceres, is of particular interest for Solar System exploration as it can represent a record of the chemistry and potential habitability of subsurface liquid water. Endogenic salts can originate by gradual freezing of fluids within outer ice layers, or through

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Rock fracture surfaces in the crust are essential habitat for microorganisms. Fracture‐groundwater interfaces provide physical substrates for biofilm growth and are sources of carbon, nutrients, and electron donors and acceptors. To better understand geochemical processes impacting fracture surfaces and the subsurface microbiome, we identified

Improving Dryland Depth to Water Table Estimate Using an Integrated Model With Three Submodels
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Investigating dryland phreatic water assets requires an in‐deep understanding of depth to water table (DWT). However, current DWT methods suffer from limited accuracy and demand refinement. Therefor, this study suggests one novel integrated model cascaded by twin, assimilation, and DWT submodels.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersSurvey strategies for upcoming exoplanet direct imaging missions have considered varying assumptions of prior knowledge. Precursor radial velocity surveys could have detected nearby exo-Earths and provided prior orbit and mass constraints. Alternatively,

Investigating the D" Reflector Beneath the Indian Ocean with Source Arrays
SeismicaWe used seismic P-wave reflections to search for the discontinuity at the top of the D" region beneath the Indian Ocean. Due to a lack of seismic receiver arrays to target this region, we build source arrays using earthquakes in Indonesia and taking ...

Planetary Albedo Is Limited by the Above-cloud Atmosphere: Implications for Sub-Neptune Climates
The Astrophysical JournalEnergy limits that delineate the “habitable zone” for exoplanets depend on a given exoplanet’s net planetary albedo (or “Bond albedo”). We here demonstrate that the planetary albedo of an observed exoplanet is limited by the above-cloud atmosphere—the ...
