The Earth as a planetary system has experienced significant change since its formation c.
4.54 Gyr ago. Some of these changes have been gradual, such as secular cooling of the …

TTGs (tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite) are one of the archetypical lithologies of
Archaean cratons. Since their original description in the 1970s, they have been the subject …

Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose
underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino …

The number of heat flow measurements at the Earth surface has significantly increased
since the last global analysis (Pollack et al., 1993, https://doi. org/10.1029/93RG01249), and …

A global map of surface heat flow is presented on a 2°× 2° equal area grid. It is based on a
global heat flow data set of over 38,000 measurements. The map consists of three …

We propose a continental lithosphere heat production model based on the petrology of crust
and mantle, heat production measurements of surface and xenolith samples, and tectono …

Detailed global plate motion models that provide a continuous description of plate
boundaries through time are an effective tool for exploring processes both at and below the …

We present a revised estimate of Earth's surface heat flux that is based upon a heat flow
data-set with 38 347 measurements, which is 55% more than used in previous estimates …

Reconstructing Earth history during the Hadean defies the traditional rock-based approach
in geology. Given the extremely limited locality of Hadean zircons, some indirect approach …

In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution
through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts …
