Multiphase Storm Deposits Eroded from Andesite Sea Cliffs on Isla San Luis Gonzaga (Northern Gulf of California, Mexico) by Rigoberto Guardado-France, Markes E. Johnson, Jorge Ledesma-Vázquez, Miguel A. Santa Rosa-del Rio, Ángel R. Herrera-Gutiérrez

“…Although the ratio of boulders to clasts diminishes from the proximal to distal end of the structure, relatively large boulders populate all transects and the average wave height required for the release of joint-bound blocks at the rocky shore amounts to 5 m. Based on the region’s historical record of hurricanes, such storms tend to decrease in intensity as they migrate northward through the Gulf of California’s 1100-km length. …”

Super-Earths, M Dwarfs, and Photosynthetic Organisms: Habitability in the Lab by Riccardo Claudi, Eleonora Alei, Mariano Battistuzzi, Lorenzo Cocola, Marco Sergio Erculiani, Anna Caterina Pozzer, Bernardo Salasnich, Diana Simionato, Vito Squicciarini, Luca Poletto, Nicoletta La Rocca

“…In a few years, space telescopes will investigate our Galaxy to detect evidence of life, mainly by observing rocky planets. In the last decade, the observation of exoplanet atmospheres and the theoretical works on biosignature gasses have experienced a considerable acceleration. …”

Compatibility between Continental Shelf Deposits and Sediments of Adjacent Beaches along Western Sardinia (Mediterranean Sea) by Giovanni De Falco, Simone Simeone, Alessandro Conforti, Walter Brambilla, Emanuela Molinaroli

“…Twelve beaches, mainly conditioned by geological control, due to the presence of extensive rocky outcrops in the sea, enclosed in seven sedimentary cells (defined by the continuity of sediment transport pathways and by identification of boundaries where there are discontinuities), were characterised in terms of sediment composition and grain size. …”

The First Habitable-zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. I. Validation of the TOI-700 System by Burke, Christopher J., Daylan, Tansu, Ricker, George R, Vanderspek, Roland K, Seager, Sara, Essack, Zahra

“…In contrast to some other low-mass stars that host Earth-sized planets in their habitable zones, TOI-700 exhibits low levels of stellar activity, presenting a valuable opportunity to study potentially rocky planets over a wide range of conditions affecting atmospheric escape. …”

A Second Planet Transiting LTT 1445A and a Determination of the Masses of Both Worlds by Vanderburg, Andrew

“…We combine radial-velocity measurements obtained from the five spectrographs, Echelle Spectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations, High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, High-Resolution Echelle Spectrometer, MAROON-X, and Planet Finder Spectrograph to establish that the new world also orbits LTT 1445A. …”

Understanding and predicting responses of ecological communities to perturbations by Medeiros, Lucas P.

“…We then apply our approach to rocky intertidal and plankton communities to illustrate how and when different species are more likely to be sensitive to perturbations and to contribute to whole-community sensitivity. …”

Methanol—A Poor Biosignature Gas in Exoplanet Atmospheres by Huang, Jingcheng, Seager, Sara, Petkowski, Janusz J, Zhan, Zhuchang, Ranjan, Sukrit

“…First, CH3OH's hydroxyl group (OH) has a unique spectral feature not present in other anticipated gases in the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. Second, there are no significant known abiotic CH3OH sources on terrestrial planets in the solar system. …”

TOWARD THE MINIMUM INNER EDGE DISTANCE OF THE HABITABLE ZONE by Zsom, Andras, Seager, Sara, de Wit, Julien, Stamenkovic, Vlada

“…We explore the minimum distance from a host star where an exoplanet could potentially be habitable in order not to discard close-in rocky exoplanets for follow-up observations. We find that the inner edge of the Habitable Zone for hot desert worlds can be as close as 0.38 AU around a solar-like star, if the greenhouse effect is reduced (~1% relative humidity) and the surface albedo is increased. …”

BULK COMPOSITION OF GJ 1214b AND OTHER SUB-NEPTUNE EXOPLANETS by Valencia, Diana, Guillot, Tristan, Parmentier, Vivien, Freedman, Richard S.

“…Conversely, little can be determined about the H[subscript 2]O or rocky content of sub-Neptune planets. We find that although a 100% water composition fits the data for GJ 1214b, based on formation constraints the presence of heavier refractory material on this planet is expected, and hence, so is a component lighter than water required. …”

Ninety million years of orogenesis, 250 million years of quiescence and further orogenesis with no change in PT : significance for the role of deformation in porphyroblast growth by Shah, A. A, Bell, T. H

“…In situ dating of monazite grains preserved as inclusions within foliations defining FIAs (foliation inflection/intersection axes preserved within porphyroblasts) contained within garnet, staurolite, andalusite and cordierite porphyroblasts provides a chronology of ages that matches the FIA succession for the Big Thompson region of the northern Colorado Rocky Mountains. FIA sets 1, 2 and 3 trending NE–SW, E–W and SE–NW were formed at 1760.5 ± 9.7, 1719.7 ± 6.4 and 1674 ± 11 Ma, respectively. …”

“…Presumed to have a small rocky core, a deep interior comprising ∼70% heavy elements surrounded by a more dilute outer envelope of H2 and He, Uranus and Neptune are fundamentally different from the better-explored gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. …”

The high-energy radiation environment around a 10 Gyr M dwarf: habitable at last? by France, K, Duvvuri, G, Egan, H, Koskinen, T, Wilson, DJ, Youngblood, A, Froning, CS, Brown, A, Alvarado-Gomez, J, Berta-Thompson, ZK, Drake, JJ, Garraffo, C, Kaltenegger, L, Kowalski, AF, Linsky, JL, Loyd, ROP, Mauas, PJD, Miguel, Y, Pineda, JS, Rugheimer, S, Schneider, PC, Tian, F, Vieytes, M

“…These results suggest that if rocky planet atmospheres can survive the initial ~5 Gyr of high stellar activity, or if a second-generation atmosphere can be formed or acquired, the flare duty cycle may be the controlling stellar parameter for the stability of Earth-like atmospheres around old M stars.…”
