Ocean acidification and warming are predicted to affect the ability of marine bivalves to build their shells, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Shell formation is an extremely compl

The Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean opened by ultraslow spreading along the Gakkel Ridge, yet crustal thickness has remained poorly constrained due to sparse seismic data. We present a new basin-wi
Four billion years ago, Earth’s surface was covered with a thick basaltic crust and, similar to other rocky planets and the Moon, parts of this basaltic crust underwent partial melting to produce sili
Current theories suggest that the first continental crust on Earth, and possibly on other terrestrial planets, may have been produced early in their history by direct melting of hydrated peridotite. H
