Investigation of the Thermal Conductivity of Dry and Icy Lunar Regolith Simulants
Abstract This study investigates the thermal conductivity of lunar regolith simulants, both with and without the addition of ice. A novel icy regolith simulant was developed, combining microgranular water ice particles and lunar highlands simulant LHS‐1.

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.

ABSTRACT This paper describes models used to explain Acid Sulfate Soil (ASS) transformation processes on Norfolk Island wetlands. Prolonged drying (1970–2020) and a range of human disturbances (from cattle pugging to excavated drains) have led to lower groundwater tables and the formation of Sulfuric organic soils (pH < 4).

Experimental Evaluation of Lunar Regolith Settlement Caused by Ice Extraction
Water resources are essential to human exploration in deep space or the establishment of long-term lunar habitation. Ice discovered on the Moon may be useful in future missions to the lunar surface, necessitating the consideration of in situ resource ...

Bark Type as an Indicator of Pyro‐Ecological Strategy in the Eucalypts
ABSTRACT Aim Eucalypt species are known for their diversity of bark types and adaptation to fire and drought. Eucalypts with stringy bark and ribboning bark are notorious for accumulating large amounts of bark fuels compared to other tree species. In this study, we examined the fire regime (fire frequency and intensity) and bioclimatic distributions of
