Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

The Earth's Greatest Porous Media
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract How deeply does modern meteoric water circulate into the continental crust? How deep is the Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the top layer of the continental lithosphere that co‐evolves with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, extending from vegetation canopy down to fresh bedrock and the base of active groundwater circulation?

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, complements conventional X‐ray CT and enables the detection of hydrous ...

Iron Isotopes Reveal Fe Export Driven by Change of Tropical Weathering Regime
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Unraveling paleoenvironmental signals recorded in laterites is crucial for quantifying weathering‐driven elemental fluxes at the Earth's surface. New stable iron isotope data (δ56Fe), combined with (U‐Th)/He ages in Fe‐oxides from a ferruginous duricrust from French Guiana, reveal the response of Fe hosted in laterite to past changes in ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.
