Watters T, James P, Selvans M
Geophys Res Lett
. 2022 Jul;
48(17):e2021GL093528.
PMID: 35860428
The crust of Mercury has experienced contraction on a global scale. Contractional deformation is expressed by a broadly distributed network of lobate thrust fault scarps. The most likely principal source...

Watters T
Commun Earth Environ
. 2021 Jan;
2(1):9.
PMID: 33490970
Mercury is a one-plate planet that has experienced significant radial contraction primarily driven by interior cooling. In some previous studies aimed at estimating the total magnitude of contraction, numerous faults...

Head J, Chapman C, Strom R, Fassett C, Denevi B, Blewett D, et al.
Science
. 2011 Oct;
333(6051):1853-6.
PMID: 21960625
MESSENGER observations from Mercury orbit reveal that a large contiguous expanse of smooth plains covers much of Mercury's high northern latitudes and occupies more than 6% of the planet's surface...

Watters T, Robinson M, Beyer R, Banks M, Bell 3rd J, Pritchard M, et al.
Science
. 2010 Aug;
329(5994):936-40.
PMID: 20724632
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images reveal previously undetected lobate thrust-fault scarps and associated meter-scale secondary tectonic landforms that include narrow extensional troughs or graben, splay faults, and multiple low-relief terraces....

Prockter L, Ernst C, Denevi B, Chapman C, Head 3rd J, Fassett C, et al.
Science
. 2010 Jul;
329(5992):668-71.
PMID: 20647421
During its first two flybys of Mercury, the MESSENGER spacecraft acquired images confirming that pervasive volcanism occurred early in the planet's history. MESSENGER's third Mercury flyby revealed a 290-kilometer-diameter peak-ring...
6.
Watters T, Head J, Solomon S, Robinson M, Chapman C, Denevi B, et al.
Science
. 2009 May;
324(5927):618-21.
PMID: 19407197
MESSENGER's second Mercury flyby revealed a ~715-kilometer-diameter impact basin, the second-largest well-preserved basin-scale impact structure known on the planet. The Rembrandt basin is comparable in age to the Caloris basin,...

Denevi B, Robinson M, Solomon S, Murchie S, Blewett D, Domingue D, et al.
Science
. 2009 May;
324(5927):613-8.
PMID: 19407196
Mapping the distribution and extent of major terrain types on a planet's surface helps to constrain the origin and evolution of its crust. Together, MESSENGER and Mariner 10 observations of...

Murchie S, Watters T, Robinson M, Head J, Strom R, Chapman C, et al.
Science
. 2008 Jul;
321(5885):73-6.
PMID: 18599772
The Caloris basin, the youngest known large impact basin on Mercury, is revealed in MESSENGER images to be modified by volcanism and deformation in a manner distinct from that of...

Head J, Murchie S, Prockter L, Robinson M, Solomon S, Strom R, et al.
Science
. 2008 Jul;
321(5885):69-72.
PMID: 18599771
The origin of plains on Mercury, whether by volcanic flooding or impact ejecta ponding, has been controversial since the Mariner 10 flybys (1974-75). High-resolution images (down to 150 meters per...

Robinson M, Murchie S, Blewett D, Domingue D, Hawkins 3rd S, Head J, et al.
Science
. 2008 Jul;
321(5885):66-9.
PMID: 18599770
Multispectral images of Mercury obtained by the MESSENGER spacecraft reveal that its surface has an overall relatively low reflectance with three large-scale units identified on the basis of reflectance and...
