Neutrino Geoscience: Review, survey, future prospects
W. F. McDonough, H. Watanabe
The earth's surface heat flux is 463 TW (terrawatts, 10 watts). Although many assume we know the earth's abundance and distribution of radioactive heat producing elemen…
Accretion disk's magnetic field controlled the composition of the terrestrial planets
William F. McDonough, Takashi Yoshizaki
Chondrites, the building blocks of the terrestrial planets, have mass and atomic proportions of oxygen, iron, magnesium, and silicon totaling 90\% and variable Mg/Si (2…
Chemically defining the building blocks of the Earth
Takashi Yoshizaki, Richard D. Ash, Tetsuya Yokoyama +2
Chondrites are undifferentiated sediments of material left over from the earliest solar system and are widely considered as representatives of the unprocessed building blocks of th…
Testing a proposed "second continent" beneath eastern China using geoneutrino measurements
Bedrich Roskovec, Ondrej Sramek, William F. McDonough
Models that envisage successful subduction channel transport of upper crustal materials below 300 km depth, past a critical phase transition in buoyant crustal lithologies, are cap…
A reference Earth model for the heat producing elements and associated geoneutrino flux
Yu Huang, Viacheslav Chubakov, Fabio Mantovani +2
The recent geoneutrino experimental results from KamLAND and Borexino detectors reveal the usefulness of analyzing the Earth geoneutrino flux, as it provides a constraint on the st…
Geophysical and geochemical constraints on geoneutrino fluxes from Earth's mantle
Ondřej Šrámek, William F. McDonough, Edwin S. Kite +3
Knowledge of the amount and distribution of radiogenic heating in the mantle is crucial for understanding the dynamics of the Earth, including its thermal evolution, the style and…
