How Did Venus Get its Youthful Surface?

by S. A. Hauck II 17 May 201816 November 2021

Catastrophic lithospheric recycling is unlikely to be the cause of Venus’s young surface from mantle convection models constrained by offset between the center of mass and center of shape of planet.

Elevated Heat Flow at Coronae on Venus

by S. A. Hauck II 26 February 201811 January 2022

Enigmatic surface features on Venus called coronae are important for how Venus loses heat, and measurement of surface flexing around these features indicates higher heat flows than on Earth.
