DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.01.017
Abstract: Abstract Water-rich planetary bodies including large icy moons and ocean exoplanets may host a deep liquid water ocean underlying a high-pressure icy mantle. The latter is often considered as a limitation to the habitability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2018.07.005
Abstract: Abstract Topography is the expression of both internal and external processes of a planetary body. Thus hypsometry (the study of topography) is a way to decipher the dynamics of a planet. For that purpose, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nature23899
Abstract: It has long been recognized that Earth and other differentiated planetary bodies are chemically fractionated compared to primitive, chondritic meteorites and, by inference, the primordial disk from which they formed. However, it is not known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/ast.2021.0173
Abstract: The concept of habitability is now widely used to describe zones in a solar system in which planets with liquid water can sustain life. Because habitability does not explicitly incorporate the origin of life, this… read more here.
