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 …

The interpretation of seismic data and computer modeling requires increased accuracy in
relevant material properties in order to improve our knowledge of the structure and dynamics …

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 …

Genetic analyses of permafrost and temperate sediments reveal that plant and animal DNA
may be preserved for long periods, even in the absence of obvious macrofossils. In Siberia …

Interrogating physical processes that occur within the lowermost mantle is a key to
understanding Earth's evolution and present-day inner composition. Among such processes …

We measured the spin state of iron in ferropericlase (Mg0. 83Fe0. 17) O at high pressure
and found a high-spin to low-spin transition occurring in the 60-to 70-gigapascal pressure …

The subduction of oceanic lithosphere into the Earth's deep interior is thought to drive
convection and create chemical heterogeneity in the mantle. The oceanic lithosphere as a …

The Earth is likely to have experienced a magma ocean stage during accretion. Thermal and
chemical evolution of magma ocean is investigated based on a one-dimensional two-phase …

A two-dimensional numerical convection model in cartesian geometry is used to study the
influence of trench migration on the ability of subducted slabs to penetrate an endothermic …

The thermal evolution of magma oceans produced by collision with giant impactors late in
accretion is expected to depend on the composition and structure of the atmosphere through …
