In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution
through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts …

This work reviews the long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, and modulation of its
composition by interior/exterior cycling. The formation and evolution of Venus's atmosphere …

At least some of Venus' lava flows are thought to be< 2.5 million years old based on visible
to near-infrared (VNIR) emissivity measured by the Venus Express spacecraft. However, the …

This work reviews possible signatures and potential detectability of present-day volcanically
emitted material in the atmosphere of Venus. We first discuss the expected composition of …

Venus's past climate evolution is uncertain. General circulation model simulations permit a
habitable climate as late as∼ 0.7 Ga, and there is suggestive—albeit inconclusive …

Surface mineralogy records the primary composition, climate history and the geochemical
cycling between the surface and atmosphere. We have not yet directly measured mineralogy …

Whether Venus was ever habitable is a key question driving missions to Earth's sister planet
in the next decade. Venus today has a dry, O2-poor atmosphere, but recent work has …

The sedimentary cycle, including the processes of erosion, transport, and lithification, is a
key part of how planets evolve over time. Early images of Venus's vast volcanic plains …

We report two experiments using 13 mineral and rock samples exposed to a complex
synthetic Venus atmosphere composed of nine gases for durations of 30 and 11 days …

On Venus, understanding of surface-atmosphere interactions resulting from chemical
weathering is both critically important for constraining atmospheric chemistry and relative …
