Earth system science is founded on the precept that the Earth is a dynamic system that is essentially closed materially, but open with respect to energy. This statement needs to be qualified by noting that the Earth continues to accrete matter from space in the form of meteorites, asteroids, ...
The positive Eu anomaly is mostly related to the accumulation of cumulate phases rather than to simple residues from partial melts. Granulite facies regions are possible samples of the lower crust and they commonly possess positive Eu anomalies; however, these are typically found in the more acidic...

Kenji Lopez-Alt, The Food Lab guy, back when he worked for Cook’s Illustrated so the science of it should be pretty sound. However, even he says he doesn’t bother with it anymore. He uses the recipe of his on Serious Eats; thinks that with the right technique (his is untraditional...

The definition of tectonic boundaries, particularly those between orogens and cratons, is a major matter of debate, which is concerned with the tectonic evolution of a particular orogenic belt (Zhao et al., 2002, Xiao et al., 2014), and/or the geometry of the nearby craton. The Central ...
