The dawn of the Hadean atmosphere
During the Hadean eon, the first 500 million years of Earth's geological history, the atmosphere underwent its most dramatic transformations. An abundance of greenhouse gases prevented runaway cooling in the face of a fainter Sun, but the concentration, chemistry, and decline rates of these gases are unknown. Retracing this intriguing metamorphosis is impeded by the scarcity of Hadean samples, a vast parameter space, and volatile flux estimates that largely rely on empirical extrapolations. Here, I aim to decipher the formation and chemical evolution of the Hadean atmosphere using a pioneering multi-scale approach, bridging atomic to planetary scales. At the foundation of my project lies a…
