Abstract The Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package HP 3 for the InSight mission will
attempt the first measurement of the planetary heat flow of Mars. The data will be taken at the …

Resolving the modes of mantle convection through Earth history, ie when plate tectonics
started and what kind of mantle dynamics reigned before, is essential to the understanding …

Greenstone basalts and komatiites provide a means to track both mantle composition and
magma generation temperature with time. Four types of mantle are characterized from …

We comprehensively compile and review N content in geologic materials to calculate a new
N budget for Earth. Using analyses of rocks and minerals in conjunction with N–Ar …

We invert the Martian tidal response and mean mass and moment of inertia for chemical
composition, thermal state, and interior structure. The inversion combines phase equilibrium …

The global geodynamic regime of early Earth, which operated before the onset of plate
tectonics, remains contentious. As geological and geochemical data suggest hotter Archean …

Granitic rocks play special role in the dynamics and evolution of the Earth and its thermal
regime. First, their compositional variability, reflected in the distribution of concentrations of …

Numerical convection models of the thermochemical evolution of Venus are compared to
present‐day topography and geoid and recent resurfacing history. The models include …

Mantle potential temperatures (T p) provide insights into mantle circulation and tests of
whether Earth is the only planet to exhibit thermally bi-modal volcanism—a distinctive …

Abstract Models of thermal evolution, crustal production, and CO2 cycling are used to
constrain the prospects for habitability of rocky planets, with Earth-like size and composition …
