Brine Entrainment During Ice Shell Growth on Icy Worlds

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The role of ocean composition in governing ice shell growth and ocean longevity on icy satellites remains poorly constrained. To address this, we develop a thermomechanical model of small to mid‐sized icy worlds that simulates ice shell growth from a saline ocean, explicitly quantifying brine entrainment through a parameterization of reactive ...

An exploratory study for rapid estimation of critical source parameters of great subduction-zone earthquakes in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2008
The rapid and reliable estimation of moment magnitude Mw, location, and size of rupture area, and radiated energy Es of great Mexican subduction zone earthquakes is critical for a quick assessment of tsunami and/or damage potential of the event and for ...

Inferring Io's Internal Properties by Combining Gravity Measurements and Volcanic Activity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract With its extreme geological activity, Io represents an archetype for tidally heated exoplanets/moons and provides insight into early stages of terrestrial planet evolution. Decades of ground‐based observations and multiple space missions have refined our understanding of Io, yet it remains debated where inside Io the tidal heating takes place.

Wavefront sensing at a high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron laser

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1255-1268, September 2026.
We demonstrate a fast, robust and sensor‐free approach to X‐ray speckle tracking that enables shot‐to‐shot wavefront characterization at high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron lasers. Our measurements reveal a hierarchy of wavefront fluctuations indicative of instabilities in the accelerator and beamline optics at the European XFEL.Wavefront ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Bolide light curve systematics from 75 recovered meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2351-2392, September 2026.
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.

Unified Ray and Amplitude Tracing ODE Systems for the Eikonal and Transport Equations via Contact Geometry

open access: yesStudies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 157, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐frequency seismic wave descriptions are essential for fundamental geophysical applications, including earthquake hypocenter location, magnitude estimation, and traveltime–amplitude tomography. These descriptions rely on two coupled PDEs: the eikonal equation (governing traveltimes) and the transport equation (governing amplitudes ...

A review of the Energy Productivity Center's Least-Cost Energy Strategy study [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The Mellon Institute's Energy Productivity Center (EPC) has recently completed a study asking the question, "How would the nation have provided energy services in 1978 if its capital stock had een reconfigured to be optimal for actual 1978 energy prices?"
