New Constraints on Sulfur Cycling in the Prebiotic Earth

by Susan Trumbore 12 January 20248 January 2024

Experiments constraining rates of aqueous reactions and photolysis coupled with a global model constrain the abundance and chemical speciation of sulfur in early Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.

These Four Exoplanets Have Wild, Rocky Weather

by Elise Cutts 7 December 20237 December 2023

On many exoplanets, conditions are so exotic that minerals form clouds and fall as rain. Recent studies revealed the rocky weather on these four exoplanets in more detail than ever before.
