Thermal stress weathering plays a significant role in desert landscape evolution on Earth, and is likely an active process on other inner solar system bodies that lack atmospheres, as they will experience higher rates of heating and cooling. We will use a heatconduction model to calculate surface temperatures of airless, inner solar system landscapes in order to explore the optimal parameters for high thermal stresses. Damage accumulated over geologic time scales from thermal stress could play an important role in setting the lifetime of surface boulders and the overall evolution of these landscapes.
