Methane bursts as a trigger for intermittent lake-forming climates on post-Noachian Mars
Edwin S. Kite, Peter Gao, Colin Goldblatt +3
Lakes existed on Mars later than 3.6 billion years ago, according to sedimentary evidence for deltaic deposition. The observed fluvio-lacustrine deposits suggest that individual la…
Mars sedimentary rock erosion rates constrained using crater counts, with applications to organic matter preservation and to the global dust cycle
Edwin S. Kite, David P. Mayer
Small-crater counts on Mars light-toned sedimentary rock are often inconsistent with any isochron; these data are usually plotted then ignored. We show (using an 18-HiRISE-image, >…
Atmosphere-interior exchange on hot rocky exoplanets
Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley, Laura Schaefer +1
We provide estimates of atmospheric pressure and surface composition on short-period rocky exoplanets with dayside magma pools and silicate vapor atmospheres. Atmospheric pressure…
Sustained eruptions on Enceladus explained by turbulent dissipation in tiger stripes
Edwin S. Kite, Allan M. Rubin
Spacecraft observations suggest that the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus draw water from a subsurface ocean, but the sustainability of conduits linking ocean and surface is not u…
