Setting the Stage for Habitable Planets

open access: yesLife, 2014
Our understanding of the processes that are relevant to the formation and maintenance of habitable planetary systems is advancing at a rapid pace, both from observation and theory.

An Integrable Model for the Dynamics of Planetary Mean-motion Resonances [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2019
I consider the dynamics of mean-motion resonances (MMRs) between pairs of coplanar planets and derive a new integrable Hamiltonian model for the planets’ resonant motion.

Global geochemical fingerprinting of plume intensity suggests coupling with the supercontinent cycle

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The links between plate tectonics and deep mantle structure remain unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that transition elements (Ni, Cr, and Fe/Mn) in basaltic rocks can be used as a tool to trace plume-related magmatism through Earth history, and ...

The Alaskan Summer 2019 Extreme Heat Event: The Role of Anthropogenic Forcing, and Projections of the Increasing Risk of Occurrence

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2021
Extreme heat occurred over Alaska in June–July 2019, posing risks to infrastructure, ecosystem, and human health. It is vital to improve our understanding of the causes of such events and the extent to which anthropogenic forcing may alter their ...

Emplacement of the Argyle diamond deposit into an ancient rift zone triggered by supercontinent breakup

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Argyle is the world’s largest source of natural diamonds, yet one of only a few economic deposits hosted in a Paleoproterozoic orogen. The geodynamic triggers responsible for its alkaline ultramafic volcanic host are unknown. Here we show, using U-Pb and

Dynamic modeling and analysis of high-speed flexible planetary gear transmission systems

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2023
Modern planetary gear transmissions are often made with flexible components and operated at high or varying speed. Despite advances in understanding their dynamic performance, they remain vulnerable to problems leading—in some cases—to subsequent system ...

Orbital forcing of ice sheets during snowball Earth

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Reconciling the Snowball Earth hypothesis with sedimentological cyclicity has been a persistent challenge. A new cyclostratigraphic climate record for a Cryogenian banded iron formation in Australia provides evidence for orbital forcing of ice sheet ...

Planetary Dynamics and Habitable Planet Formation in Binary Star Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
How our planet was formed, how life came about, and whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are among some of the long-standing questions in human history.
