Intraspecific support for the climate variability hypothesis: oxidative damage in lizards after acute temperature exposure Open
Ectotherms face mounting challenges from climate variability. The climate variability hypothesis predicts that species from more variable environments will exhibit greater physiological resilience, but this has been largely untested within…

Evolution of Mercury’s Volatile-bearing Crust within Raditladi Basin Open
Mercury’s surface presents significant challenges for understanding planetary volatile distribution. Previous studies have identified features including hollows, flows, and chaotic terrains as associated with the presence of volatiles. The…

Two-dimensional numerical model of underground oil-shale retorting Open
A two-dimensional numerical model of underground oil shale retorting, which fully couples retorting chemistry with fluid and heat flow, has been developed. The model solves the time-dependent, two-dimensional mass, momentum, and energy bal…

Preliminary integrated calculation of radionuclide cation and anion transport at Yucca Mountain using a geochemical model Open
This paper presents preliminary transport calculations for radionuclide movement at Yucca Mountain using preliminary data for mineral distributions, retardation parameter distributions, and hypothetical recharge scenarios. These calculatio…

Mercury’s Hidden Past: Revealing a Volatile-dominated Layer through Glacier-like Features and Chaotic Terrains Open
The discovery of global elemental volatile compositions, sublimation hollows, and chaotic terrains has significantly reshaped our understanding of Mercury’s geology. These findings suggest the existence of volatile-rich layers (VRLs) exten…

Normal Faults on Ceres: Insights Into the Mechanical Properties and Thermal History of Nar Sulcus Open
We characterized two sets of extensional faults that comprise the Nar Sulcus region of Ceres by applying a cantilever model for fault related flexure and derived flexural rigidity values for Nar Sulcus between 2.0 · 10 15 and 1.8 · 10 16 N…

Hydrothermal dynamics in a <span>CM</span>‐based model of Ceres Open
A 2‐D numerical study of the evolution of Ceres from a “frozen mudball” to the present era emphasizes the importance of hydrothermal processes. Particulates released as the “frozen mudball” thaws settle to form a roughly 290 km radius core…
