The Urey ratio describes the contribution of internal heat production to planetary‐scale
energy balance, and knowing this thermal budget for Earth is essential to understand its …

▪ Abstract Observations of the geochemical diversity of mid-oceanic ridge and ocean-island
basalts have traditionally been attributed to the existence of large-scale mantle …

A new edition of a landmark volume which takes into account the vast amount of new
spectral data on minerals. The whole field will be covered systematically from theory to …

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 …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

All the important thermal properties of rocks can be estimated from the graphs and tables in
this report. Most of the useful published data are summarized herein to provide fairly …

A model for thermal conductivity κ, based on phonon lifetimes obtained from infrared
reflectivity, replicates experimental data at ambient conditions. The pressure and absolute …

Earth's core is likely the largest reservoir of carbon (C) in the planet, but its C abundance has
been poorly constrained because measurements of carbon's preference for core versus …

We measured the spin state of iron in magnesium silicate perovskite (Mg0. 9, Fe0. 1) SiO3 at
high pressure and found two electronic transitions occurring at 70 gigapascals and at 120 …

Thermal histories have been calculated for simple models of the earth which assume that
heat is transported by convection throughout the interior. The application of independent …
