Mantle Flow and Anisotropy in Subduction Zones: Modeling and Clustering of Olivine Textures
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe mantle near Earth's subduction zones endures intense deformation that generates anisotropic rock textures. These textures can be observed seismically and modeled geodynamically, but the complexity of this deformation makes analyses of these textures ...

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.

Binary Gravitational Perturbations and Their Influence on the Habitability of Circumstellar Planets
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 In order to assess the habitability of planets in binary star systems, not only astrophysical considerations regarding stellar and atmospheric conditions are needed, but orbital dynamics and the architecture of the system also play an important role. Due

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.

Degassing of CO2 triggers large-scale loss of helium from magma oceans
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe moon-forming impact caused widespread melting and vaporization of the proto-Earth, leading to the formation of a protolunar disk1,2. Volatile elements trapped in the inner parts of the disk condensed together with heavier elements into a global magma

The Carbon-deficient Evolution of TRAPPIST-1c
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Transiting planets orbiting M dwarfs provide the best opportunity to study the atmospheres of rocky planets with current facilities. As JWST enters its second year of science operations, an important initial endeavor is to determine whether these rocky ...

The Habitability of our Evolving Galaxy
, 2018 The notion of a Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ), or regions of the Milky Way galaxy that preferentially maintain the conditions to sustain complex life, has recently gained attention due to the detection of numerous exoplanets and advances made in ...

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.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.
