The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

The distribution of water in the Moon's interior carries implications for the origin of the Moon,
the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean and the duration of lunar volcanism. The …

1609 AD marked the beginning of the modern scientific exploration of the Moon's crust when
Thomas Harriot and later Galileo Galilei made the first recorded maps of the nearside with …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

The timing of delivery and the types of body that contributed volatiles to the terrestrial planets
remain highly debated,. For example, it is unknown if differentiated bodies, such as that …

The presence of H 2 O within differentiated terrestrial bodies in the inner Solar System is
well established; however, the source (s) of this H 2 O and the time of its arrival to the inner …

Aubrites and enstatite chondrites (ECs) are isotopically similar to the Earth and therefore
may resemble the primary materials that accreted to form our planet. Recent bulk H …

The Moon is depleted in water and other volatiles compared to Earth and the bulk solar
composition. Such depletion of volatile elements and the stable isotope fractionations of …

Nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) composing Earth's and planetary rocks incorporate
microscopic amounts of volatiles. However, volatile distribution in NAMs and their effect on …

Earth's Moon was thought to be highly depleted in volatiles due to its formation by a giant
impact. Over the last decade, however, evidence has been found in apatites, lunar volcanic …
