Critical percolation threshold restricts late-summer Arctic sea ice melt pond coverage

Predrag Popović, Mary C. Silber, Dorian S. Abbot

During the summer, vast regions of Arctic sea ice are covered by meltwater ponds that significantly lower the ice reflectivity and accelerate melting. Ponds develop over the melt s…

Snow topography on undeformed Arctic sea ice captured by an idealized "snow dune" model

Predrag Popović, Justin Finkel, Mary C. Silber +1

Our ability to predict the future of Arctic sea ice is limited by ice's sensitivity to detailed surface conditions such as the distribution of snow and melt ponds. Snow on top of t…

Sediment load determines the shape of rivers

Predrag Popović, Olivier Devauchelle, Anaïs Abramian +1

Understanding how rivers adjust to the sediment load they carry is critical to predicting the evolution of landscapes. Presently, however, no physically based model reliably captur…

Probing the capability of future direct imaging missions to spectrally constrain the frequency of Earth-like planets

Jade H. Checlair, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth +6

A critical question in astrobiology is whether exoEarth candidates (EECs) are Earth-like, in that they originate life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres similarly to E…

Non-detection of O/O informs frequency of Earth-like planets with LUVOIR but not HabEx

Jade H. Checlair, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth, Stephanie L. Olson +5

A critical question in the search for extraterrestrial life is whether exoEarths are Earth-like, in that they host life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres roughly foll…

A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to Maximize the Scientific Return of Future Exoplanet Characterization Efforts

Jade H. Checlair, Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber +37

Provided that sufficient resources are deployed, we can look forward to an extraordinary future in which we will characterize potentially habitable planets. Until now, we have had…

Simple rules govern the patterns of Arctic sea ice melt ponds

Predrag Popović, B. B. Cael, Mary Silber +1

Climate change, amplified in the far north, has led to rapid sea ice decline in recent years. In the summer, melt ponds form on the surface of Arctic sea ice, significantly lowerin…

Decrease in hysteresis of planetary climate for planets with long solar days

Dorian S. Abbot, Jonah Bloch-Johnson, Jade Checlair +5

The ice-albedo feedback on rapidly-rotating terrestrial planets in the habitable zone can lead to abrupt transitions (bifurcations) between a warm and a snowball (ice-covered) stat…
