Experimental Shock Metamorphism of Zircon, Apatite, and Whitlockite From 5 to 40 GPa
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Hypervelocity impacts modify planetary crusts and can alter the microstructures of key minerals used to reconstruct planetary histories. We investigated the potential effects of impacts on three common accessory minerals found in terrestrial crusts by experimentally shocking zircon, apatite, and whitlockite at 5, 10, 20, and 40 GPa.

Optical Depths of Dust Devils Observed in Gale Crater, Mars
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity Rover has detected dust devils using the on‐board Navigation Cameras (Navcam) and the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) throughout the MSL mission. While previous studies have quantified the frequency and location of dust devils, their optical depth and how it changes with time, season ...

Distal Rays and Secondary Craters of the Tycho Impact Event Revealed Through Deep Learning
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The nature of secondary impact craters is a matter of ongoing debate, with important implications for understanding the impact cratering process, and for calibration of crater chronology. Rays generated by primary impact craters are characterized by secondary craters, providing identifiable terrains to study the size, morphology and clustering

Ancient Impact Melt Near the Lunar South Pole: Distribution, Provenance, and Sampling Strategy
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Due to a lack of pre‐Nectarian samples associated with specific impacts in the Apollo suite, the early Solar System's impact chronology is poorly constrained. We investigate where Artemis and other south polar lunar missions could sample impactites to determine the ages of pre‐Nectarian craters, focusing on the ancient craters Haworth ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Geostationary hyperspectral infrared sounders provide hourly observations of the atmospheric composition. However, the conventional optimal estimation method (OEM)‐based retrieval algorithm requires computationally expensive radiative transfer calculations and inverse modeling, making it difficult to monitor in real time. This study presents a
