The Role of Biomacromolecular Crowding, Ionic Strength, and Physicochemical Gradients in the Complexities of Life's Emergence
Jan J. Spitzer,Berend Poolman +1 more
TL;DR: A sequence of tentative transitions between major evolutionary periods during the Hadean eon is suggested as follows: the early water world, the appearance of land masses, the pre-RNA world, (iv) the onset of complex vectorial chemistry, and (v) the RNA world and evolution toward Darwinian thresholds.

Pumice as a remarkable substrate for the origin of life.
TL;DR: It is argued that extensive rafts of glassy, porous, and gas-rich pumice could have had a significant role in the origin of life and provided an important habitat for the earliest communities of microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Mineral Evolution
TL;DR: Grew et al. as mentioned in this paper used radiometric dating to identify a deterministic evolutionary sequence of silicate minerals in igneous rocks, which implies that Earth’s crustal mineralogy has changed dramatically through more than 4.5 billion years of planetary history.
Evolution of a terrestrial multiple moon system
Robin M. Canup,Harold F. Levison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the evolution of terrestrial multiple-moon systems as they evolve due to mutual interactions (including mean motion resonances) and tidal interaction with Earth, using both analytical techniques and numerical integrations.

Origin of the Moon in a giant impact near the end of the Earth's formation.
Robin M. Canup,Erik Asphaug +1 more
TL;DR: This work reports a class of impacts that yield an iron-poor Moon, as well as the current masses and angular momentum of the Earth–Moon system, and suggests that the Moon formed near the very end of Earth's accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite-Sized Planetesimals and Lunar Origin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make exploratory calculations using accretionary theory to demonstrate plausible sizes of second largest, third largest, etc., bodies at the close of planet formation in heliocentric orbits near the planets, assuming asteroid-like size distributions at the start of the calculation.

TL;DR: The first retroreflector array was placed on the moon by Apollo 11, enabling highly accurate measurements of the Earthmoon separation by means of laser ranging as discussed by the authors, which has been used for a broad range of investigations, including astronomy, lunar science, gravitational physics, geodesy, and geodynamics.

The Earth's Variable Rotation: Geophysical Causes and Consequences
TL;DR: In this article, a perspective of the earth and its physical properties is presented, along with the astronomical evidence of the Earth's physical properties and its evolution, including the periodic variations of seasons and hurricanes.

Multiple sulfur isotopes and the evolution of the atmosphere
James Farquhar,Boswell A. Wing +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the implications of multiple isotope studies is presented, focusing on anomalous, but not uncommon isotopic signatures of sulfur in the geologic record.
