The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Different boundaries could be defined in a planetary ionosphere where the dominant process in function switches from one to the other. Identifying these boundaries and understanding their variations are hence crucial for disentangling the complexity of ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page i-xiv., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Comparison of terrestrial and Martian TEC at dawn and dusk during solstices
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 This paper used the similarities between the ionospheres on Mars and Earth, the most similar of the terrestrial planets, to examine the relative importance of photochemical and transport processes at dawn and dusk.

Perspective on Energetic and Thermal Atmospheric Photoelectrons
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Atmospheric photoelectrons are central to the production of planetary ionospheres. They are created by photoionization of the neutral planetary atmosphere by solar EUV and soft X-ray irradiance.

Ion Loss within a Reconnection Exhaust near Mars: MAVEN Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present observations from Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN of a reconnection exhaust, which was probably not ongoing, in the Martian magnetosheath. The reconnection jet with abundant heavy ions is directed outward to space.

Bond-forming reactions of N22+ with C2H4, C2H6, C3H4 and C3H6
, 2015 Mass spectrometry, coupled with position-sensitive coincidence detection, has been used to investigate the reactions of N22+ with various small hydrocarbon molecules (C2H4, C2H6, C3H4, c-C3H6 and n-C3H6) at collision energies below 10 eV in the centre-of-

Variability of the Martian ionosphere from the MAVEN Radio Occultation Science Experiment
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019 The Martian ionosphere is produced by a number of controlling processes, including solar extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) and X-ray ionization, impact ionization by precipitating electrons, and day-to-night transport.
