Can anyone point to some state of the art reference on Venusian planetary science? I have some books from the 70s on the topic, but I assume more is known now.

A little dated David Grinspoons "Venus Revealed" (1998). David is a leading US expert plus science journalist. Plus Carl Sagan was a family friend. David is a frustrated Venus expert because no Venus probe has been approved in the past two decadenal space priorities.

Googled Venus Simulation. Found Terraforming Wiki.

I would start with looking at Wikipedia. Either the article on Venus or a separate article on the history of exploration of Venus should have links to sources.

My usual approach: find any recent academic book on the topic, read the introduction/preface and maybe first chapter, and it’ll name-drop all the most important books and papers on the subject.

Usually the Web, including Wikipedia, and outside of perhaps Library Genesis, is shockingly shallow and out-of-date. It’s usually not even capable of providing a basic list of major works like this, let alone the contents, unless you stumble on some academic’s page that happens to provide it, which is increasingly hard to do through search.
