Session Introduction

8:25 AM

Anzures B. A.* Vander Kaaden K. E. McCubbin F. M. Iacovino K. Prissel K. et al.

Temperature Effect on Silicate Melt-Sulfide-Metal Trace Element Partitioning in the Presence of Sulfur Under Reduced Conditions [#2586]
Temperature up / Changes REEs, not S species / Mercurian melts.

8:35 AM

Renggli C. J.* Stojic A. N. Morlok A. Berndt J. Weber I. et al.

Sulfur Enrichment on the Surface of Mercury by Sulfidation Reactions [#1063]
We propose that the S enrichment on the surface of Mercury occurred by high-T sulfidation reactions. We present mid-IR spectra of analogue experiments.

8:45 AM

Iacovino K.* McCubbin F. M. Vander Kaaden K. E. Moore G. M.

Carbon as a Key Driver of Explosive Volcanism on Mercury [#1649]
Graphite meets magma / Explosive reaction yields / Mercury’s “red” spots.

8:55 AM

Bott N.* Thompson M. S. Vander Kaaden K. E. Loeffler M. J. McCubbin F. M.

Simulating Micrometeoroid Bombardment on Mercury: Identifying New Space Weathering Features in the Laboratory [#1696]
We present the results of our analyses of the spectral, microstructural, and chemical characteristics of Mercury analog samples irradiated by pulsed laser.

Panel Q&A

9:25 AM

Rivera-Valentín E. G.* Bhiravarasu S. S. Virkki A. K. Nolan M. C. Himani T. P. et al.

Polarimetric Radar Analysis of Potentially Ice-Hosting PSRs from Mercury to the Moon [#1257]
Hermes’ aqua veil / Wade through bipolar scatter / Moon’s icy echo.

9:35 AM

Sori M. M.* Laferriere K. L. Burkman K. S. Herring J. Klidaras A. et al.

Hollows as a Source for Mercury's Polar Organics [#1103]
Mercury’s hollows are plausibly the source of carbon-rich material observed in polar deposits, explaining a key difference between ice on the Moon and Mercury.

9:45 AM

Caminiti E.* Doressoundiram A. Besse S. Wright J. Lantz C. et al.

Evolution of Volcanism on Mercury Using Spectroscopy [#2108]
We propose to study the timing and evolution of smooth plains around the Caloris basin using MESSENGER/MASCS data and laboratory spectroscopy.

9:55 AM

Leon-Dasi M.* Besse S. Doressoundiram A.

Investigating the Size and Age of Pyroclastic Deposits on Mercury Using Deep Learning [#2008]
This work applies deep learning techniques to investigate the size and age of pyroclastic deposits in Mercury, products of explosive volcanic eruptions.

Panel Q&A

10:25 AM

Peterson G. A.* Lenardic A. Johnson C. L. Jellinek A. M.

The Influence of Mantle Melting and Differentiation on the Tectonic, Magnetic and Compositional Evolution of Mercury [#2154]
Forming Mercury’s crust accelerates interior cooling, explaining an ancient magnetic field, shortening structures, and the geochemical evolution.

10:35 AM

Clark J. D.* Bernhardt H. Preusker F. Klimczak C. Banks M. E. et al.

Cataloging the Ages of Shortening Landforms in Mercury's H-11 Discovery Quadrangle [#1461]
Counting the craters / Around shortening landforms / Mercury is stressed.

Man B.* Rothery D. A. Balme M. R. Conway S. J. Wright J.

Preliminary Evidence for Recent Tectonic Activity on Mercury Revealed by a Global Population of Extensional Grabens [#1538]
We present the results of our global survey for extensional grabens that are associated with shortening structures.

10:55 AM

Loveless S. R.* McCullough L. R. Klimczak C. Crane K. T. Byrne P. K.

Geomorphology of Shortening Structures on Mercury Depicts No Grouping into Categories [#1695]
A multivariate statistical analysis performed on Mercury’s shortening structures finds no distinct clustering based on the structures’ observed parameters.
