A regolith lead isoscape of Australia
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Abstract. We present the first national-scale lead (Pb) isotope maps of Australia based on surface regolith for five isotope ratios, 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/206Pb, and 208Pb/206Pb, determined by single-collector sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after an ammonium acetate leach followed by aqua regia ...

Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars
Soil Systems, 2021 Perchlorate (ClO4−) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Due to increasing population growth and declining arable land on Earth, astroagriculture will be vital to terraform Martian regolith for settlement. Nodulating plants and their N-fixing symbionts may play a role in increasing Martian soil fertility.

Gas-Driven Regolith-Sampling Strategy for Exploring Micro-Gravity Asteroids
IEEE Access, 2020 Small celestial bodies contain abundant scientific information to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system. The acquisition and analysis of regolith sample is the most direct and effective way to explore the geological construction of ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 153-168., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The importance of Phobos simulants: a review on our current knowledge
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Phobos, a satellite of Mars, was successfully studied by flyby, orbiter, and landing missions to the Red Planet, but several questions remain about its origin, composition, and relationship to Mars.
