My recent interview (in spanish) with LA FABRICA DE LA CIENCIA on my work regarding habitability in the post-main-sequence and the volcanic hydrogen habitable zone!

JGR-Planets NASA GISS Ramses Ramirez We used a plausible topography before Tharsis formed and the planet is much wetter with more rainfall. Before this work, I hadn't appreciated that Tharsis likely formed amidst the "warmest and wettest" period in martian history. That more-than-coincidental timing is compelling.

Congrats Scott Guzewich. Yes, volcanism is key and why we've argued (since 2014) that's how early Mars was warmer and wetter: nature.com/articles/ngeo2… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… We also agree that earlier (flatter) topography is conducive to more rainfall agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.102…

In my office during my first week as the newest faculty member of UCF Physics! Students interested in exoplanets, planetary habitability, planetary atmospheres, and similar topics, contact me! UCFPlanetary Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) 地球生命研究所 Carl Sagan Institute

Also looking for postdoc that models the atmospheres of potentially habitable (solar system) planets and exoplanets! Must know FORTRAN, MATLAB, or Python. Give me a holler if that's you or if you know someone! TY!
