Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Volume 15, 1987.
Abstract
Recent theoretical and experimental investigations in the fields of earth and planetary science are examined in a series of annual reviews. Topics addressed include the core-mantle boundary, application of stable C isotopes to early biochemical evolution on earth, physical processes in volcanic eruptions, three-dimensional seismic imaging, and integrated diagenetic modeling. Consideration is given to the atmospheres of Venus, earth, and Mars; terrestrial impact structures; the origin of the moon; organic geochemistry of biomarkers; models of lithospheric thinning; marine magnetic anomalies; and polar wandering and paleomagnetism.
