Geologic Constraints on Early Mars Climate
Edwin S. Kite
Early Mars climate research has well-defined goals (Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group 2018). Achieving these goals requires geologists and climate modelers to coordinate. Coo…
Valuing life detection missions
Edwin S. Kite, Eric Gaidos, Tullis C. Onstott
Recent discoveries imply that Early Mars was habitable for life-as-we-know-it; that Enceladus might be habitable; and that many stars have Earth-sized exoplanets whose insolation f…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
Crater mound formation by wind erosion on Mars
Liam J. Steele, Edwin S. Kite, Timothy I. Michaels
Most of Mars' ancient sedimentary rocks by volume are in wind-eroded sedimentary mounds, but the connections between mound form and wind erosion are unclear. We perform mesoscale s…
Habitability of Exoplanet Waterworlds
Edwin S. Kite, Eric B. Ford
Many habitable zone exoplanets are expected to form with water mass fractions higher than that of the Earth. For rocky exoplanets with 10-1000x Earth's H2O but without H2, we model…
