Abstract Thermal convective processes in the liquid cores of terrestrial planetary bodies with the capacity to generate magnetic dynamos may be better characterized by thermal conductivity estimates of core conditions. The composition of the core of asteroid 4 Vesta as determined by geochemical studies of HED meteorites is used as an analog for the ...

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Coseismic Vertical Displacement for a Shallow Thrust Earthquake From EarthDEM Data
Abstract Coseismic vertical displacements are important observations that help improve our understanding of fault mechanisms and how earthquakes alter landscapes. It has been a challenge to quantify long‐wavelength topographic changes for thrust earthquakes using optical satellite imagery, as most recent studies focus on strike‐slip earthquakes that ...

Earth Wind‐Driven Formation of Hematite on the Lunar Surface
Abstract The recent discovery of hematite (Fe2O3 ${\text{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$) in lunar high‐latitude regions challenges the notion that the Moon exists in a reduced state. However, the origin of hematite remains unclear. We conducted irradiation experiments using 10 keV O2+ ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{+}$ and H2+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}^{+}$ ions on Fe‐bearing ...
