Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum

open access: yes, 2014
The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

Melting and differentiation in Venus with a cold start: A mechanism of the thin crust formation [PDF]

open access: yes
Recent works argue that the venusian crust is thin: less than 10-30 km. However, any convective model of Venus unavoidably predicts melting and a fast growth of the basaltic crust, up to its maximum thickness of about 70 km limited, by the gabbro ...

Evidence for retrograde lithospheric subduction on Venus [PDF]

open access: yes
Though there is no plate tectonics per se on Venus, recent Magellan radar images and topographic profiles of the planet suggest the occurrence of the plate tectonic processes of lithospheric subduction and back-arc spreading.

Constraining the Temperature of Impact Melt from the Mistastin Lake Impact Structure Using Zircon Crystal Structures [PDF]

open access: yes
Impact melt is a product of hyper-velocity impact events formed by the instantaneous melting of near-surface target rocks. Constraining the temperature of impact melt is vital to understanding its prograde heating and cooling history, which can have ...
