Using Venus, Earth, and Mars to Understand Exoplanet Volatile and Climate Evolution
Abstract Venus, Earth, and Mars exhibit a wide range of interactions between their deep interiors, surfaces, lower and upper atmospheres, and the Sun, with commensurate variations in the nature of their atmospheres and evolution of their volatiles. By examining these worlds' characteristics and behavior, we can gain some understanding of the breadth of

Low‐relief dry channels appear out of place across a glaciated karst landscape in northern Ohio. Channels are only a few metres deep cut into limestone and draped with a veneer of till. Several hypotheses are proposed for explaining the channels. Low‐relief dry channels are observed across the Bellevue‐Castalia Karst Plain of north‐central Ohio, USA ...

Constructional Volcanic Edifices on Mercury: Candidates and Hypotheses of Formation [PDF]
Mercury, a planet with a predominantly volcanic crust, has perplexingly few, if any, constructional volcanic edifices, despite their common occurrence on other solar system bodies with volcanic histories.

On the Crustal Architecture of the Terrestrial Planets
Abstract Understanding the structure and composition of planetary crusts is fundamental for unraveling the diverse geologic pathways of rocky bodies in the solar system. In recent years, geophysical missions have shed light on the crustal architecture of the Moon and Mars.

Enhanced Seismic Backscattering for Lava Tube Detection
Abstract Lava tubes, a common volcanic feature on terrestrial planets, offer critical insights into lava flow processes and may serve as future potential habitats for space crews and other facilities on the Moon and Mars. Seismic detection of these features is challenging as the irregular morphology and rough cave ceilings and walls generate complex ...

Erosional development of bedrock spur and gully topography in the Valles Marineris, Mars [PDF]
Gully networks separated by resistant bedrock spurs are a common erosional feature along the escarpments that border the Valles Marineris. The resistant spur topography is best developed where the base of the slope is truncated by linear scarps ...

Methane release on Early Mars by atmospheric collapse and atmospheric reinflation [PDF]
A candidate explanation for Early Mars rivers is atmospheric warming due to surface release of H$_2$ or CH$_4$ gas. However, it remains unknown how much gas could be released in a single event.
