Check out the EOS highlight of my paper on formation of dome craters! @AGU_Eos @jgrplanets #AGUpubs
JGR-Planets@jgrplanets23 Jul 2024
✨Editor's Pick✨ Large craters with broad central domes are a unique crater morphology on #Jupiter’s largest icy moons: Ganymede and Callisto. Caussi et al. examine how remnant impact heat may lead to their formation. Learn more in @AGU_Eos: eos.org/editor-highlights/un… #AGUPubs

Unveiling the Origins of Dome Craters on Ganymede and Callisto - Eos

Large craters with broad central domes are a unique crater morphology on Jupiter’s largest icy moons: Ganymede and Callisto. A new study examines how remnant impact heat may lead to their formation.

Dome Craters on Ganymede and Callisto May Form by Topographic Relaxation of Pit Craters Aided by...

Dome craters form via topographic relaxation of pit craters for sizes larger than ∼60 km Remnant heat from the impact enhances relaxation at the center of the pit crater, causing domes to emerge ...

Evidence of Topographic Change Recorded by Lava Flows at Atete and Aruru Coronae on Venus

Geophysical models of corona formation struggle to recreate critical observations and underestimate the role of volcanism Lava flows associated with Atete and Aruru Corona are not aligned with mo...

I’ll be presenting my poster tonight at #LPSC2023 poster 340. Topographic Support in Icy Shells of Ocean Worlds: Investigating Wavelength Dependence of Airy Isostasy [Abs. 1262] #LPSCHaiku: Ice shells, like cushions Diffuse some of the stresses Can wide loads push through?

This are generally a circular ridge structure that maybe started as a dome from upwelling and then collapsed. #LPSC2022

W.S. Tucker is doing a presentation on a feature called a Corona on Venus, which is a unique feature not found anywhere else. They're everywhere! #Venus101 #TeachThisMartianSomeVenus #LPSC2022
