The Earth can be viewed as a massive heat engine, with various energy sources and sinks.
Insights into its evolution can be obtained by quantifying the various energy contributions in …

The composition and state of Earth's core, located deeper than 2,900 km from the surface,
remain largely uncertain. Recent static experiments on iron and alloys performed up to inner …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

Redfield noted the similarity between the average nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio in plankton
(N: P= 16 by atoms) and in deep oceanic waters (N: P= 15; refs,). He argued that this was …

55 4.4 Experimental techniques 57 4.5 Some general trends in elasticity: Birch's law 59 4.6 …

We study numerically an extensive set of dynamo models in rotating spherical shells,
varying all relevant control parameters by at least two orders of magnitude. Convection is …

We present a revised estimate of Earth's surface heat flux that is based upon a heat flow
data-set with 38 347 measurements, which is 55% more than used in previous estimates …

Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the
evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …

We measured the electrical resistivity of iron and iron-silicon alloy to 100 GPa. The resistivity
of iron was also calculated to core pressures. Combined with the first geophysical model …

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 …
