The lead author of the new study, Guillem Anglada [1], from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC), Granada, Spain, explains the significance of this find: «The dust around Proxima is important because, following the discovery of the terrestrial planet Proxima b, it's the first indication of the presence of an elaborate planetary system, and not just a single planet, around the star closest to our Sun.»

Major challenges in the near future include assigning clearer attribution to sea ice as a primary driver of such dynamics, especially in terrestrial systems, and addressing pressures arising from human use of arctic coastal and near - shore areas as sea ice diminishes.

«We find that transfer of rock capable of carrying life has likely occurred from both Earth and Mars to all the terrestrial planets in the Solar System and Jupiter, and transfer from Earth to Saturn is also probable,» conclude the researchers.

DefinitionSamarium — neodymium dating uses the radioactive decay of 147Sm to 143Nd and 146Sm to 142Nd to measure the age of rocks and minerals and to trace and date geochemical processes responsible for the chemical differentiation of the Earth and the terrestrial planets and to the geochemical and cosmochemical communities in the early 1970s, the Sm — Nd radioactive decay systems have grown into essential tools in geochronology and particularly for the Sm - Nd dating of gabbro - and garnet - bearing contact metamorphic / anatectic rocks from Krutfjellet, Nordland, and some geochemical aspects of the intrusives

The amount of CO2 added to our atmosphere by terrestrial volcanoes is estimated to represent only a small fraction of that emitted by humans, but the total amount entering our climate system via the ocean from submarine volcanoes and fissures in the Earth's crust is unknown.
