Journal ArticleDOI

The composition of the Earth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative abundances of the refractory elements in carbonaceous, ordinary, and enstatite chondritic meteorites and found that the most consistent composition of the Earth's core is derived from the seismic profile and its interpretation, compared with primitive meteorites, and chemical and petrological models of peridotite-basalt melting relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-Os evidence for replacement of ancient mantle lithosphere beneath the North China Craton

TL;DR: In this paper, peridotite xenoliths carried in Paleozoic kimberlites and Tertiary alkali basalts confirm previous suggestions that the refractory and chemically buoyant lithospheric keel present beneath the eastern block of the North China craton is indeed Archean in age.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) as mentioned in this paper is a 20kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector with the determination of neutrino mass hierarchy (MH) as a primary physics goal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbonatite metasomatism in the northern Tanzanian mantle: petrographic and geochemical characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used trace element signatures of carbonatite melts responsible for modal metasomatism of peridotite xenoliths from the Olmani cinder cone, northern Tanzania.
