The isotopic composition of meteorites and terrestrial planets holds important clues about
the earliest history of the Solar System and the processes of planet formation. Recent work …

The isotopic dichotomy between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC)
meteorites indicates that meteorite parent bodies derive from two genetically distinct …

Geochemical and astronomical evidence demonstrates that planet formation occurred in two
spatially and temporally separated reservoirs. The origin of this dichotomy is unknown. We …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Nucleosynthetic isotope variability among Solar System objects is often used to probe the
genetic relationship between meteorite groups and the rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth …

The chronology of dust formation in the early solar system remains controversial.
Chondrules are the most abundant high-temperature objects formed during the evolution of …

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 …

Earth's origins are challenging to elucidate, given the lack of surviving terrestrial geology
from the first 500 Myr of the Solar System. In this Review, we discuss breakthroughs in …

The formation of a primordial crust is a critical step in the evolution of terrestrial planets but
the timing of this process is poorly understood. The mineral zircon is a powerful tool for …

We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and
protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite …
