The faint young Sun problem (2012, background): “…diverging growth curves for continental volume [see, e.g., Kröner , 1985; Flament , 2009, for an overview], but recent work [Belousova et al., 2010; Dhuime et al., 2012] based on the isotopic composition of zircons provides much better constraints on the evolution of continental volume, which is…”
Primary magmas and mantle temperatures through time (2017, background): “Accordingly, recent worldwide isotopic compilations of zircon [Belousova et al., 2010; Dhuime et al., 2012] provided new data showing that most of the continental crust volume (>70”
Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars (2018, background): “According to Walker (1985) one can expect that initially the atmospheric CO2 partial surface pressure was high (≥ 10 bar), but declined rapidly as a result of the growth of the global sedimentary rock reservoir and possibly also as a result of the return of carbon from the exogenic system to the man”
