DOI: 10.1029/2020gl092128
Abstract: The exploration of the surface geology of Venus has been hampered by its inhospitable conditions and thick and opaque atmosphere. Fundamental properties, such as crustal composition and heterogeneity remain poorly constrained. Multiple analytical techniques are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ngeo2873
Abstract: The planet Venus is covered by thick clouds of sulfuric acid that move westwards because the entire upper atmosphere rotates much faster than the planet itself. At the cloud tops, about 65 km in altitude, small-scale… read more here.
