Earth Our paper on the role of hydrogen in the formation of Earth is out in Nature as of April 13, 2023. We Show that Earth's water, density of its core, and overall oxidation state can be explained by equilibration of the precursor embryos with their primary H2 atmospheres. See press release here.
