Metal-silicate partitioning of Siderophile elements and core formation in the early earth

Article Abstract:

Siderophile element metal/silicate partition coefficients are a function of temperature, pressure, oxygen fugacity, and metal and silicate composition. This new understanding of Siderophile element partitioning has also led to applications to the kinetics of metal-silicate equilibrium, links to the timing of core formation, and a better understanding of core formation and metal-silicate equilibrium in the Moon and Mars.

Tropical cyclones

Article Abstract:

Tropical cyclones encompass virtually every subdiscipline of geophysical fluid dynamics, including cumulus convection, boundary layers, thermodynamic cycles, surface wave dynamics and air-sea interaction. The structure, behavior, and climatology of these fascinating storms, are described.

Phanerozoic atmospheric oxygen

Article Abstract:

The effects of elevated oxygen on fire behavior are examined. Higher levels of oxygen are consistent with the presence of Permo-Carboniferous giant insects, and preliminary experiments indicate that insect body size can increase with elevated oxygen.
