The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Carbon Storage in Earth's Deep Interior Implied by Carbonate‐Silicate‐Iron Melt Miscibility
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Carbonate melts have been proposed to exist in the lower mantle, but their interaction with other lower mantle melt compositions is poorly understood. To understand miscibility in the carbonate‐silicate‐metal melt system, we simulate endmember, binary ...

The root to the Galápagos mantle plume on the core-mantle boundary
Seismica, 2022 Ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) are thin anomalous patches on the boundary between the Earth's core and mantle, revealed by their effects on the seismic waves that propagate through them. Here we map a broad ULVZ near the Galápagos hotspot using shear-

High‐Pressure Transformations and Stability of Ferromagnesite in the Earth's Mantle
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 105-113., 2020 This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.
Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Geodynamic modeling and seismic studies have highlighted the possibility that a thin layer of low seismic velocities, potentially molten, may sit atop the core‐mantle boundary but has thus far eluded detection.

Geomagnetic Dipole Changes and Upwelling/Downwelling at the Top of the Earth's Core
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The convective state of the top of Earth's outer core is still under debate. Conflicting evidence from seismology and geomagnetism provides arguments for and against a thick stably stratified layer below the core-mantle boundary.

Mantle cooling regulation and ancient geomagnetic field
Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2022 The joined core and mantle thermal evolution model of the Earth for 6 Gy is considered. The model describes evolution of the heat fluxes, temperature distribution in the Earth, energy available for the magnetic field generation. Using Monte Carlo method

GRACE—Gravity Data for Understanding the Deep Earth’s Interior
Remote Sensing, 2020 While the main causes of the temporal gravity variations observed by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) space mission result from water mass redistributions occurring at the surface of the Earth in response to climatic and anthropogenic ...

Outer Core Stratification From the High Latitude Structure of the Geomagnetic Field
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The presence of stable stratification has broad implications for the thermal and compositional state of the outer core, the evolution of Earth's deep interior, and the energetics of the geodynamo.

Understanding the effects of the core on the nutation of the Earth
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2017 In this review paper, we examine the changes in the Earth orientation in space and focus on the nutation (shorter-term periodic variations), which is superimposed on precession (long-term trend on a timescale of years).
