The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics
J. J. Zanazzi, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud
Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky plane…

Inclination Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks Around Eccentric Binaries
J. J. Zanazzi, Dong Lai
It is usually thought that viscous torque works to align a circumbinary disk with the binary's orbital plane. However, recent numerical simulations suggest that the disk may evolve…

Triaxial Deformation and Asynchronous Rotation of Rocky Planets in the Habitable Zone of Low-Mass Stars
J. J. Zanazzi, Dong Lai
Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars in the habitable zone tend to be driven to synchronous rotation by tidal dissipation, potentially causing difficulties for maintaining a habita…
