A Hydrogen Rich Early Earth?

HERE IS THE LATEST ARTICLE  ABOUT LARIN EARTH THEORY:

V.N. Larin (1993) [1] proposed that the chemical
differentiation in the solar system was driven by the magnetic
field of the Protosun, which induced a magnetic zoning of the
ionized solar nebula matter. This hypothesis is geochemically
supported by a correlation between the  Log of  the chemical
element abundances of the Earth outer geospheres relative to
the Sun, and the first ionization potential of these elements.
The observed correlation is theoretically reappraised in the
present paper and  is interpreted as a Boltzmann distribution,
which is proportional to the distance  to the Protosun.  The
model is succesfully tested for the observed solar normalized
chemical compositions of the Earth, Mars and chondrites;
poorly convincing results are obtained for Venus in absence of
reliable data for low abundance elements.
The comparison of the abundance of a given element in
the Earth’s crust with the average abundance predicted from
the proposed model is further interpreted as reflecting the
geochemical radial differentiation of the Earth. Using a simple
thermochemical model, we propose that the radial distribution
of hydrogen on Earth is a function of the chemical affinities of
major Earth forming elements with hydrogen.
This model provides insights for hydrogen abundance on
Earth. Notably, the inner Earth would  have been and still
could be hydrogen rich. Although most of this hydrogen have
escaped to atmosphere and space through the thorough
degassing of the mantle, it is reasonable to suggest, in the
perspective given by our model, that very large amounts still
reside in the core.

He started in 1979 as IBM/370 system engineer. In 1986 he got his PhD. in Robotics at St. Petersburg Technical University (Russia) and then worked as a professor teaching CAD/CAM, Robotics for 12 years. He published 30+ papers and made several presentations for conferences related to the Robotics and Artificial Intelligent fields. In 1999 he moved to the US, worked at Capital One bank as a Capacity Planner. His first CMG.org paper was written and presented in 2001. The next one, "Exception Detection System Based on MASF Technique," won a Best Paper award at CMG'02 and was presented at UKCMG'03 in Oxford, England. He made other tech. presentations at IBM z/Series Expo, SPEC.org, Southern and Central Europe CMG and ran several workshops covering his original method of Anomaly and Change Point Detection (Perfomalist.com). Author of “Performance Anomaly Detection” class (at CMG.com). Worked 2 years as the Capacity team lead for IBM, worked for SunTrust Bank for 3 years and then at IBM for 3 years as Sr. IT Architect. Now he works for Capital One bank as IT Manager at the Cloud Engineering and since 2015 he is a member of CMG.org Board of Directors. Runs UT channel iTrubin
