Composition and structure of the shallow subsurface of Ceres revealed by crater morphology
Before NASA's Dawn mission, the dwarf planet Ceres was widely believed to contain a
substantial ice-rich layer below its rocky surface. The existence of such a layer has …

The Holy Grail: A road map for unlocking the climate record stored within Mars' polar layered deposits
In its polar layered deposits (PLD), Mars possesses a record of its recent climate, analogous
to terrestrial ice sheets containing climate records on Earth. Each PLD is greater than 2 km …
