    The focus will be on the potential for silicate-water interactions to occur on Ocean Worlds beyond Earth, from a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspective.
  • On the comparison between equilibrium and disequilibrium condensation sequences of meteorites 
    De, Bibhas R. (Pergamon Press, 1977)
    We define a simple formalism for calculating the condensation sequence of meteoritic minerals in a cooling vapor phase in temperature disequilibrium (between the vapor phase and the condensed phase) when such minerals ...
  • On the evolution of terrestrial planets: Bi-stability, stochastic effects, and the non-uniqueness of tectonic states

    Here, we will discuss constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Earth and present a novel framework of planetary evolution that moves toward probabilistic arguments based on general physical principals, as opposed to ...
  • On the formation of the lunar mascons 
    Arkani-Hamed, Jafar (Pergamon Press, 1973)
    A new mascon hypothesis is proposed which accounts for: (1) the existence of lunar mascons for more than 3 b.y., (2) the evidence for extensive volcanic activity from 3.7 to 3.2 b.y. ago, (3) the existence of negative ...
  • On the global TRM of the lunar lithosphere 
    Srnka, L. J. (Pergamon Press, 1976)
    Acquisition of thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) in a lunar lithosphere which cooled in the presence of a hypothetical ancient lunar dipole field is studied using Runcorn's theorem and a range of lunar evolution models.
  • On the origin of mascons and moonquakes 
    Runcorn, S. K. (Pergamon Press, 1974)
    The discovery of positive gravity anomalies over the circular maria by Muller and Sjogren (1968) has been one of the most discussed results of the Apollo lunar exploration program. That the contours of the gravitational ...
  • Once and future moon
