In the coming years and decades, advanced space-and ground-based observatories will
allow an unprecedented opportunity to probe the atmospheres and surfaces of potentially …

The prospects for the habitability of M-dwarf planets have long been debated, due to key
differences between the unique stellar and planetary environments around these low-mass …

The Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater, Mars, to investigate ancient lake and river
deposits. We report observations of the crater floor, below the crater's sedimentary delta …

Saturn's moon Enceladus harbours a global 1 ice-covered water ocean 2, 3. The Cassini
spacecraft investigated the composition of the ocean by analysis of material ejected into …

The second ExoMars mission will be launched in 2020 to target an ancient location
interpreted to have strong potential for past habitability and for preserving physical and …

The search for life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and modern
science. The current progress in the detection of terrestrial-type exoplanets has opened a …

Saturn's moon Enceladus has a potentially habitable subsurface water ocean that contains
canonical building blocks of life (organic and inorganic carbon, ammonia, possibly hydrogen …

The presence of an atmosphere over sufficiently long timescales is widely perceived as one
of the most prominent criteria associated with planetary surface habitability. We address the …

Over the last decade, degrowth has offered a concrete alternative to eco-modernization,
projecting a society emancipated from the environmentally destructive imperative of …

The five large moons of Uranus are important targets for future spacecraft missions. To
motivate and inform the exploration of these moons, we model their internal evolution …
