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

Asymmetric thermal evolution of the Moon
The Moon possesses a clear dichotomy in geological processes between the nearside and
farside hemispheres. The most pronounced expressions of this dichotomy are the strong …

Flows driven by libration, precession, and tides
Because of gravitational interactions with their companions, the rotational dynamics of
planets and stars involve periodic perturbations of their shape, the direction of their …

Long‐term Earth‐Moon evolution with high‐level orbit and ocean tide models
Abstract Tides and Earth‐Moon system evolution are coupled over geological time. Tidal
energy dissipation on Earth slows rotation rate, increases obliquity, lunar orbit semi‐major …

The lunar dynamo
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether the Moon has a fully differentiated and melted
structure with a metallic core or retains a partially primordial, unmelted interior. The …

The end of the lunar dynamo
Magnetic measurements of the lunar crust and Apollo samples indicate that the Moon
generated a dynamo magnetic field lasting from at least 4.2 until< 2.5 billion years (Ga) ago …
