DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2016.10.057
Abstract: Vigorous convection in Earth's core powers our global magnetic field, which has survived for over three billion years. In this study, we calculate the rate of entropy production available to drive the dynamo throughout geologic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwae201
Abstract: ABSTRACT Nitrogen is a vital element for life on Earth. Its cycling between the surface (atmosphere + crust) and the mantle has a profound influence on the atmosphere and climate. However, our understanding of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ado2412
Abstract: The preservation of Milankovitch cycles in the stratigraphic record provides independent geological information to study our ancient solar system and can be leveraged to constrain existing theoretical models. Here, we identify 34 high-quality cyclostratigraphic records… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/gmd-17-5057-2024
Abstract: Abstract. Reconstructing the thermo-chemical evolution of Earth's mantle and its diverse surface manifestations is a widely recognised grand challenge for the geosciences. It requires the creation of a digital twin: a digital representation of Earth's… read more here.
