Summary This chapter discusses the thermal evolution of the earth and reviews recent work on the evolution of the core, in particular the implications of the large thermal conductivity found in several independent studies. It also discusses how these recent developments could change the view of the...
The hypothesis is offered according to which the Earth's core evolution and geodynamo are conditioned by thermal erodion of solid protocore that is the most ancient relict in the Earth interiors [1, 2]. This hypothesis can be developed if the core heating generated by any source of energy ...
The deposit has a resource of 3.44 million tonnes of WO3, making it the largest on Earth, however its origin and the evolution of its magmatic–hydrothermal system remain unclear, largely because alteration–mineralization types in this giant deposit have been less well-studied, apart from a ...
Assessing global mean temperature rise using the average warming over the previous one or two decades will delay formal recognition of when Earth breaches the Paris agreement’s 1.5 °C guard rail. Here is what’s needed to avoid the wait. Richard A. Betts Stephen E. Belcher Peter A. Stott...

The thermal evolution history of Carboniferous source rocks is mainly characterized by the "secondary hydrocarbon generation and the main hydrocarbon generation in the late stage", which is mainly controlled by the tectonic movement of the area. The overall thermal evolution of the Qaidam Basin is ...
Life on Earth has existed for over 3.5 billion years and has caused fundamental changes in Earth’s biogeochemistry. However, the timing and impact of major events in the evolution of the biosphere are hotly contested, owing partially to the inherent dif
Earth System Science (ESS) is a rapidly emerging transdisciplinary endeavour aimed at understanding the structure and functioning of the Earth as a complex, adaptive system. Here, we discuss the emergence and evolution of ESS, outlining the importance of
A space-borne observatory running at a sun-synchronous orbit is not hampered by the Earth's rotations, while an Earth-based telescope can see the Sun only in the daytime. "ASO-S is capable of probing the Sun 24 hours daily for most of the year," said Gan Weiqun, the satellite's pri...
