Can surface fractures on Earth, Mars, and Europa predict habitability on other planets?
Geophysicist Douglas Jerolmack has used the mathematical framework developed for understanding fracture patterns on Earth to survey two-dimensional fracture networks across the solar system, which could offer insights into detecting potentially habitable environments on other planets.
Upcoming Events
