What Earth Erases: Weathering Diversity of Mineral Phases Formed in a Highly Reduced Environment Hosted in Aubrites

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Meteorites serve as an exceptional source of insight into our planet and the Solar System. Most meteorite fragments were recovered hundreds to thousands of years after their fall, and therefore exhibit varying degrees of terrestrial weathering, which has altered or completely removed weather‐sensitive mineral phases.

Minerals in Iron and Titanium Skeletal Textures in Nakhlites MIL 090030, MIL 090136, MIL 090032, and MIL 03346: Comparative Analysis With Terrestrial Analogues From Canary Islands, Spain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The presence of minor minerals is a key factor distinguishing meteorite types, as they provide valuable insights into the formation processes, surface conditions, and evolutionary history of their parent bodies. In Martian nakhlites, one of the most distinctive minor phases is iron‐titanium oxides forming characteristic skeletal textures ...

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Theology and Cosmology

St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology
The relationship of theology and cosmology has been fruitful to both disciplines. This article suggests that the Judaeo-Christian tradition is a key influence in shaping the development of cosmology, and that physical cosmology as it arose in the ...

Thermal histories of El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155): Implications for the diversity of IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites and their parent bodies

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1763-1787, August 2026.
Abstract This study provides the first petrographic, crystallographic, and chemical comparison between El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155), two particular IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites. Both contain exceptionally large graphite nodules and “flowers”, providing unique insights into carbon behavior in metallic melts and cooling ...

Revisiting One-Zero and Two-Zero Neutrino Mass Textures in Light of Recent Oscillation and Cosmological Data

We revisit one-zero and two-zero textures of the neutrino mass matrix under current experimental and cosmological constraints. We identify the phenomenologically viable texture structures using the latest results on neutrino oscillation parameters, the cosmological bound on the sum of neutrino masses, the kinematic bound on the effective electron ...

Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1788-1805, August 2026.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

Advanced aqueous alteration in primitive meteorites: Micro‐ to nanoscale studies of CR1 iron sulfides

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1806-1825, August 2026.
Abstract This study documents micro‐ to nanoscale observations of primary nebular and secondary parent body iron sulfides in the CR1 GRO 95577. Despite the extensive alteration of the bulk sample, some primary sulfides managed to avoid alteration, having originally formed in the solar nebula during chondrule formation by either fission‐sulfidization or

LifeMet: Report on the 2024–2025 meteorite recovery expedition in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica for the study of microbe–meteorite interactions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1847-1860, August 2026.
Abstract Since the discovery of nine meteorites near the Yamato mountains in 1969, Antarctica has been recognized as a superb location for meteorite recovery. While Antarctic recovery expeditions prioritize meteorite preservation for mineralogical and planetary studies, meteorites are not typically collected for biological applications.

The role of composition in the spectral evolution of carbonaceous asteroids as informed by Bennu sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1875-1904, August 2026.
Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...
