Geotimes July 2006 Carolyn Gramling	Earth Soaks up Seawater Geologists have long thought that seawater does not travel very far through Earth's interior A new geochemical study, however, is challenging that notion, saying that traces of seawater exist deep inside the planet.
Chemistry World October 11, 2012 Andy Extance	Perovskite posits answer to xenon riddle If meteorites and the Earth were formed from similar materials at the same time, where did the xenon go? Some scientists think that the answer could be found in xenon trapped in the Earth's iron core, or in ice, water or rocks near the surface.
Chemistry World March 1, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Earth's missing xenon could be hiding in quartz For decades scientists have known that the abundance of xenon is curiously lower than predicted from comparisons with the other noble gases. Now chemists in Canada have evidence that it is residing in the ground beneath our feet.
Chemistry World May 22, 2008 Richard Van Noorden	Xenon doubled up with water Creating a water molecule with two noble gas atoms interpolated into its structure sounds an improbable feat, but a international team of researchers now claim to have trapped just such an exotic compound in xenon.

Although not the oldest zircons on Earth, the Jormua zircons are the oldest yet found in mantle rocks. Their discovery has given scientists a brief glimpse into the history of early plate tectonics.
Geotimes May 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Deep Earth May Hold an Ocean Earth's deep interior, more than 1,000 kilometers below the surface in the mantle, could prove to be a watery place. That's the conclusion researchers drew from an anomaly uncovered by the first global map of Earth's lower mantle, using a new type of seismic analysis.
