Magma ocean, water, and the early atmosphere of Venus
The current state and surface conditions of the Earth and its twin planet Venus are drastically
different. Whether these differences are directly inherited from the earliest stages of …

Resurfacing history and volcanic activity of Venus
Photogeologic principles can be used to suggest possible sequences of events that result in
the present planetary surface. The most common method of evaluating the absolute age of a …

The habitability of Venus
Venus today is inhospitable at the surface, its average temperature of 750 K being
incompatible to the existence of life as we know it. However, the potential for past surface …

Dyke swarms record the plume stage evolution of the Atla Regio superplume on Venus
H El Bilali, RE Ernst, KL Buchan… - Communications Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Atla Regio, Venus, is interpreted as a young major mantle plume centre, and we
address whether it is at plume head or plume tail stage. Our approach uses graben-fissure …

Venus, the planet: introduction to the evolution of Earth's sister planet
Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably)
bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant …

Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases
Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet
atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur …

[HTML][HTML] The tectonics and volcanism of Venus: New modes facilitated by realistic crustal rheology and intrusive magmatism
To explain Venus' young surface age and lack of plate tectonics, Venus' tectonic regime has
often been proposed to be either an episodic-lid regime with global lithospheric overturns, or …

Tectono‐magmatic evolution of asymmetric coronae on Venus: Topographic classification and 3D thermo‐mechanical modeling
Venus is the only other Earth‐sized planet in the Solar System but it does not exhibit
evidence of plate tectonics that dominates geological processes on Earth. Surface …
