Ancient volcanic deposits on terrestrial planetary bodies preserve a record of the early stages of planetary evolution, revealing important information about both the interior evolution …
One of the ubiquitous impacts of climate change on the terrestrial ecosystem is the shifting plant phenology, which is the periodic events in the life …
Impact basins are unique crater landforms on planetary bodies, characterized by concentric topographic rings and radiating sculpture patterns. The onset of impact basins occurs at …
Olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, garnet and plagioclase are major rock-forming minerals in the Earth mantle and other planetary bodies. The partitioning of trace elements into these …
Abstract of Tracing Planetary Scale Volatile Cycling with Inert Gases: A Combined Experimental and Numerical Approach, by John A. Krantz, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2020. …
To image Earth structure and dynamics, seismologists employ measurements of the frequency-dependent propagation speeds of surface waves generated by earthquakes, which provide unique and critical …
Common air quality pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ground- level ozone exhibit immense intra-urban variability. Though they are useful for regulatory compliance, …
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are a crucial tool for watershed analysis, offering valuable insights into landscape-scale hydrology. Traditional watershed delineations are derived by filling a …
The interaction between Earth's relatively rigid tectonic plates and relatively viscous convecting upper mantle fundamentally influences myriad processes ranging from arc and intraplate volcanism to …
Various geological processes in the Earth can be studied using geochemistry. Melts derived from the mantle can be used to estimate the source composition to …
Water-rock reactions affect the evolution of planetary crusts and largely control their potential for habitability and biosignature preservation. Here we use data from remote sensing …
