Additional information

First unequivocal Venus pyroclastic identified. Highly significant for planetary science, since nearly Toba-scale, and inferred volatile content proves “wet” not “dry” mantle. Identifies key radar parameters required to distinguish these deposits. Forces rethink of current paradigm and nature of “exo-Earths”. Invited talks at Oxford, GeolSoc, EGU and publication in Special on Solar System volcanism. Key evidence for ongoing geological activity at Venus, supporting new missions (EnVision/Raven) and enabling subcrustal plate model papers. Led to invitation for Ghail to help steer research to find similar deposits elsewhere on Venus, in collaboration with Dr Mather (Tamsin.Mather@earth.ox.ac.uk) and Prof Pyle (david.pyle@earth.ox.ac.uk) at Oxford.
