Characterization of ferric hydroxysulfate on Mars and implications of the geochemical environment supporting its formation [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Sulfate minerals are significant components of the martian surface and provide clues about the martian geochemical environment. One unusual Fe-sulfate phase has been intriguing Mars scientists for over a decade due to its unique spectral bands that are ...

A Spectroscopic Study of Mars-analog Materials with Amorphous Sulfate and Chloride Phases: Implications for Detecting Amorphous Materials on the Martian Surface

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The Chemistry and Mineralogy X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument aboard the Curiosity rover consistently identifies amorphous material at Gale Crater, which is compositionally variable, but often includes elevated sulfur and iron, suggesting that ...

(U–Th)/He thermochronometric mapping across the northeast Japan Arc: towards understanding mountain building in an island-arc setting

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
Topographic relief in arc-trench systems is thought to be formed by plate subduction; however, few quantitative investigations have so far been reported, with respect to the related mountain building process.

Plausible Constraints on the Range of Bulk Terrestrial Exoplanet Compositions in the Solar Neighborhood

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Rocky planet compositions regulate planetary evolution by affecting core sizes, mantle properties, and melting behaviors. Yet, quantitative treatments of this aspect of exoplanet studies remain generally underexplored.

Salt Distribution from Freezing Intrusions in Ice Shells on Ocean Worlds: Application to Europa

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Several icy moons and dwarf planets appear to have hosted subsurface liquid water. Liquid water intruding upwards into the icy outer shells of these worlds freezes, forming ice and (from ocean solutes) non-ice solids.

Iron Mineralogy and Sediment Color in a 100 m Drill Core From Lake Towuti, Indonesia Reflect Catchment and Diagenetic Conditions

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Iron is the most abundant redox‐sensitive element on the Earth's surface, and the oxidation state, mineral host, and crystallinity of Fe‐rich phases in sedimentary systems can record details of water‐rock interactions and environmental conditions ...

A GENERIC RIGOROUS SENSOR MODEL FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRIC PROCESSING OF PUSHBROOM PLANETARY IMAGES [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019
Currently, each planetary exploration mission team always develops its own software modules to support the photogrammetric processing of planetary images, and as a result of that the main drawbacks are lacking software reusability and the high cost of ...
