A giant impact onto Earth led to the formation of the Moon, resulted in a lunar magma ocean
(LMO), and initiated the last event of core segregation on Earth. However, the timing and …

Here it is documented how an existing code for modelling mantle convection in a cartesian
domain, Stag3D, has been converted to model a 3D spherical shell by using the recently …

Volcanic degassing of planetary interiors has important implications for their corresponding
atmospheres. The oxidation state of rocky interiors affects the volatile partitioning during …

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 …

Improved constraints on lower-mantle composition are fundamental to understand the
accretion, differentiation, and thermochemical evolution of our planet. Cosmochemical …

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

The thermal and chemical evolution of rocky planets is controlled by their surface tectonics
and magmatic processes. On Earth, magmatism is dominated by plutonism/intrusion versus …

Aims. We explore volcanic CO 2-outgassing on purely rocky, stagnant-lid exoplanets of
different interior structures, compositions, thermal states, and age. We focus on planets in …

The discovery of extra-solar “super-Earth” planets with sizes up to twice that of Earth has
prompted interest in their possible lithosphere and mantle dynamics and evolution. Simple …
