Image of Venus against a dark space background. Below, text reads: “Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling. Modelling the thickness of Venus' basaltic crust.” Authors listed
Black background with three colored text boxes: Pink: “Mineral transitions, rock density, and melting processes control the maximum thickness of Venus' crust.” Purple: “The crustal thickness ranges from 20–65 km, depending on thermal gradients.” Teal: “Exceeding these thicknesses leads to crustal recycling or volcanic activity.”
Black background with a white quote inside a rounded box: “This research is an important step in understanding the complexities of Venus' geological processes.” Attribution: Julia Semprich.
Screenshot of a journal article header from Nature Communications titled: “Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling.” Includes authors, publication date (25 March 2025), citation details, and DOI link.
In September a paper, led by Julia Semprich, was published titled: Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling
