The dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle are of first-order relevance for the origin and
modification of the tectonic and volcanic structures we observe on Venus today. Solid-state …

In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution
through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts …

Venus has a geologically young surface, but it is unknown whether it has ongoing active
volcanism. From 1990 to 1992, the Magellan spacecraft imaged the planet's surface, using …

The recent candidate detection of∼ 1 ppb of phosphine in the middle atmosphere of Venus
is so unexpected that it requires an exhaustive search for explanations of its origin …

Venus is Earth's twin in size and radiogenic heat budget, yet it remains unclear how Venus
loses its heat absent plate tectonics. Most Venusian stagnant-lid models predict a thick …

We present a re‐examination of mass spectral data obtained from the Pioneer Venus Large
Probe Neutral Mass Spectrometer. Our interpretations of differing trace chemical species are …

The flood basalts of large igneous provinces (LIPs) are fed by a vast and often complicated
plumbing system that can include giant dyke swarms, sill complexes, mid-to upper-crustal …

The geodynamics of Earth and Venus operate in strikingly distinct ways, in spite of their
similar size and bulk density, resulting in Venus's absence of plate tectonics and young …

Extreme temperature and pressure conditions on the surface of Venus present formidable
technological challenges against performing ground‐based seismology. Efficient coupling …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …
