Habitability Models for Planetary Sciences
, 2020 Habitability has been generally defined as the capability of an environment to support life. Ecologists have been using Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs) for more than four decades to study the habitability of Earth from local to global scales. Astrobiologists have been proposing different habitability models for some time, with little integration and ...

Tides, planetary companions, and habitability: habitability in the habitable zone of low-mass stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Earth-scale planets in the classical habitable zone (HZ) are more likely to be habitable if they possess active geophysics. Without a constant internal energy source, planets cool as they age, eventually terminating tectonic activity and rendering the planet sterile to life.

Dynamical Habitability of Known Extrasolar Planetary Systems [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 Habitability is usually defined as the requirement for a terrestrial planet's atmosphere to sustain liquid water. This definition can be complemented by the dynamical requirement that other planets in the system do not gravitationally perturb terrestrial planets outside of their habitable zone, the orbital region allowing the existence of liquid water.

User-friendly carbon-cycle modelling and aspects of Phanerozoic climate change
Applied Computing and GeosciencesCarbon-cycle modelling is essential for testing the main carbon sources and sinks as climate forcings, and we introduce and describe GEOCARB_NET, a graphical user interface for the geologic carbon and sulfur cycle model GEOCARBSULFvolc.

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 ...

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, 2023 Tectonics is the scientific discipline that studies the relationship between planetary convection and surface deformation and magmatism. In recent years global tectonic regimes and planetary evolution have become foci of astronomical and planetological ...

Spectroscopic Detection of Biosignatures in Natural Ice Samples as a Proxy for Icy Moons
Life, 2023 Some of the icy moons of the solar system with a subsurface ocean, such as Europa and Enceladus, are the targets of future space missions that search for potential extraterrestrial life forms.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Chemical gardens are self‐assembled architectures with “life‐like” morphologies that form in the absence of any biological activity. Here we show that such structures can also be obtained by contacting reservoirs of calcium and sulfate ions, under conditions that plausibly emulate those prevailing on early Mars.
