The Role of Meteorite Impacts in the Origin of Life
The conditions, timing, and setting for the origin of life on Earth and whether life exists elsewhere in our solar system and beyond represent some of the most fundamental scientific questions of our time.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

History of the solar nebula from meteorite paleomagnetism [PDF]
Meteorite measurements suggest that magnetism played a central role in mass transport in the early solar system. We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and protoplanetary disks (PPDs).

The Non-carbonaceous–Carbonaceous Meteorite Dichotomy
The isotopic dichotomy between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorites indicates that meteorite parent bodies derive from two genetically distinct reservoirs, which presumably were located inside (NC) and outside (CC) the orbit of Jupiter ...
