Abstract: Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean currents and the potential for ice‐ocean coupling. When the… read more here.

Abstract: Context. Centaurs are icy objects in transition between the transneptunian region and the inner solar system, orbiting the Sun in the giant planet region. Some Centaurs display cometary activity, which cannot be sustained by the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2005235117
Abstract: Significance We present a coordinated petrologic, mineral chemistry, and multi-isotopic investigation of individual chondrules to further elucidate the origins and formation histories of planetary materials. We show chondrules from certain meteorites that accreted in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418198122
Abstract: Significance The sources of Earth’s volatile elements remain unclear. For many elements, the distinct isotope anomalies of inner and outer solar system materials constrain the provenance of the terrestrial inventory. Yet, for the major life-essential… read more here.
