Constructional Volcanic Edifices on Mercury: Candidates and Hypotheses of Formation [PDF]
, 2018 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.

The origin, evolution and life cycle of rock art shelters in the Kimberley Basin of NW Australia
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 9, July 2025.Sandstone rock shelters hosting abundant rock art in northwestern Australia evolve by undermining through recession of a weak layer, leading to progressive enlargement by bedding slab falls from the ceiling, creating new surfaces for rock paintings in the process. Eventually, continued undermining due to ongoing failure of the lower weak layer leads to

Martian geomorphology and its relation to subsurface volatiles [PDF]
, 1986 Martian volatile inventory, planetary climatic and atmospheric evolution, and the interpretation of various remote sensing data were discussed.edited by Stephen M. Clifford, Lisa A. Rossbacher, and James R.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Fractures in sedimentary rocks preserved within Gale crater record the deformational and burial history of the sediment infill. Fracture geometries and morphology can be used to time other geologic events, such as: compaction, diagenesis, fluid migration, geochemistry, and broader tectonic stresses within a basin.

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]
, 2019 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.

Rapid methods of landslide hazard mapping : Fiji case study [PDF]
, 1995 A landslide hazard probability map can help planners (1) prepare for, and/or mitigate against, the effects of landsliding on communities and infrastructure, and (2) avoid or minimise the risks associated with new developments.

Soil surveys: A window to the subsurface [PDF]
, 2005 Soils and underlying parent materials form a continuous system we must understand and manage in total. Numerous concerns (e.g., water quality, on-site waste disposal, landfill placement, and nutrient or pesticide movement) require an integrated knowledge

Lunar Observer Laser Altimeter observations for lunar base site selection [PDF]
One of the critical datasets for optimal selection of future lunar landing sites is local- to regional-scale topography. Lunar base site selection will require such data for both engineering and scientific operations purposes.
