Chemical and Isotopic Consequences of Lunar Formation via Giant Impact
There is near consensus in the planetary science community that the origin of the Moon can be traced to a massive interplanetary collision between a roughly Mars-sized object and the growing Earth towards the end of planetary accretion. Many in the geochemical community, however, have rightly expre...
