Light elements in the Earth's core
Constraining the core's composition is essential for understanding Earth accretion, core
formation and the sustainment of Earth's magnetic field. Earth's outer and inner core exhibit …

Achievements and prospects of global broadband seismographic networks after 30 years of continuous geophysical observations
Global seismographic networks (GSNs) emerged during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, facilitated by seminal international developments in theory, technology …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-IV. Planetary systems around low-mass stars
Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

Hidden water in magma ocean exoplanets
We demonstrate that the deep volatile storage capacity of magma oceans has significant
implications for the bulk composition, interior, and climate state inferred from exoplanet mass …

Direct measurement of thermal conductivity in solid iron at planetary core conditions
The conduction of heat through minerals and melts at extreme pressures and temperatures
is of central importance to the evolution and dynamics of planets. In the cooling Earth's core …

Experimental determination of the electrical resistivity of iron at Earth's core conditions
Earth continuously generates a dipole magnetic field in its convecting liquid outer core by a
self-sustained dynamo action. Metallic iron is a dominant component of the outer core, so its …

Mass fractionation laws, mass-independent effects, and isotopic anomalies
Isotopic variations usually follow mass-dependent fractionation, meaning that the relative
variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

Magma ocean, water, and the early atmosphere of Venus
The current state and surface conditions of the Earth and its twin planet Venus are drastically
different. Whether these differences are directly inherited from the earliest stages of …

[PDF][PDF] 7.06-temperatures, heat and energy in the mantle of the earth
Even a cursory historical look at the development of geology reveals that the cooling of the
Earth has always been a central issue (Birch, 1965; Fourier, 1824; Holmes, 1915; Joly …

Global water cycle and the coevolution of the Earth's interior and surface environment
The bulk Earth composition contains probably less than 0.3% of water, but this trace amount
of water can affect the long-term evolution of the Earth in a number of different ways. The …
