Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.

Effects of Outer Giant Planets on In Situ Formation of Inner Super-Earths

The Astrophysical Journal
Recent studies have found an observational correlation between the presence of outer giant planets and inner super-Earths, which implies that outer giants do not suppress the formation of super-Earths.

Giant Planet Lightning in Nonideal Gases

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Lightning has been directly observed or inferred on all giant planets, generally accepted to be occurring in their water clouds. However, much as Earth has both cloud–cloud and cloud–ground lightning, this does not mean all flashes occur in a narrow ...

Final Masses of Giant Planets II: Jupiter Formation in a Gas-Depleted Disk

, 2015
Firstly, we study the final masses of giant planets growing in protoplanetary disks through capture of disk gas, by employing an empirical formula for the gas capture rate and a shallow disk gap model, which are both based on hydrodynamical simulations ...

Charge towards green finance ignores risks of nature commodification: Evidence from the UK's climate and nature recovery policy landscape

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1297-1308, May 2026.
Abstract The urgent need for up‐scaled finance has become central to the climate and nature recovery discourses worldwide. With most existing investments coming from public sources, closing the financing gap has become the overpowering argument for calling for private investments into nature restoration and conservation.

Stochasticity & Predictability in Terrestrial Planet Formation [PDF]

, 2016
Terrestrial planets are thought to be the result of a vast number of gravitational interactions and collisions between smaller bodies. We use numerical simulations to show that practically identical initial conditions result in a wide array of final ...

Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 831-842, May 2026.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

The Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn as a Function of the Rρ Parameter

The Astrophysical Journal
Computed using the APPLE planetary evolution code, we present updated evolutionary models for Jupiter and Saturn that incorporate helium rain, nonadiabatic thermal structures, and “fuzzy” extended heavy-element cores.

The Formation of Uranus and Neptune in Solid-Rich Feeding Zones: Connecting Chemistry and Dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
The core accretion theory of planet formation has at least two fundamental problems explaining the origins of Uranus and Neptune: (1) dynamical times in the trans-Saturnian solar nebula are so long that core growth can take > 15 Myr, and (2) the onset of

Modeling the Detectability of Energetic Heliospheric Ions at Pluto During the New Horizons Flyby

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We investigate the detectability of heliospheric helium ions at energies up to 100 keV by the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft during its flyby through Pluto's induced magnetosphere. The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation energetic ion detector observed a reduction in their flux by an order of magnitude as the spacecraft ...
