Radioactive heat production of six geologically important nuclides
Thomas Ruedas
Heat production rates for the geologically important nuclides Al, K, Fe, Th, U, and U are calculated on the basis of recent…
On the relative importance of thermal and chemical buoyancy in regular and impact-induced melting in a Mars-like planet
Thomas Ruedas, Doris Breuer
We ran several series of two-dimensional numerical mantle convection simulations representing in idealized form the thermochemical evolution of a Mars-like planet. In order to stud…
The habitability of a stagnant-lid Earth
N. Tosi, M. Godolt, B. Stracke +7
Plate tectonics is a fundamental component for the habitability of the Earth. Yet whether it is a recurrent feature of terrestrial bodies orbiting other stars or unique to the Eart…
Globally smooth approximations for shock pressure decay in impacts
Thomas Ruedas
New forms of empirical formulae that provide an approximate description of the decay of shock pressure with distance in hypervelocity impacts are proposed. These forms, which are i…
