A Hydrogen Rich Early Earth?

HERE IS THE LATEST ARTICLE  ABOUT LARIN EARTH THEORY: 


Toulhoat, H., Beaumont, V., Zgonnik, V., Larin, N. V., & Larin, V. N. (2011). A Hydrogen Rich Early Earth? Mineralogical Magazine75(3), с 2027. Link to pdf.


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.

Igor Trubin began his engineering career in 1979 as an IBM/370 systems engineer. He earned a Ph.D. in Robotics from St. Petersburg Technical University in 1986 and spent 12 years there as a professor teaching CAD/CAM and Robotics. He has published and presented more than 60 technical papers and conference presentations in robotics, artificial intelligence, IT performance, capacity management, anomaly detection, and FinOps. After moving to the U.S. in 1999, Igor worked at Capital One, IBM, and SunTrust Bank in senior engineering, architecture, and management roles. His 2002 CMG paper on exception detection received a Best Paper Award. He later developed Perfomalist.com, based on his original methods for anomaly, change-point, and trend detection, and created the online course “Performance Anomaly Detection.” At Capital One, he led development of cloud capacity-management and FinOps solutions, including the award-winning OptiCloud application. He has served on the CMG Board of Directors since 2015. Now semi-retired, Igor focuses on research, writing, and consulting. His current work expands his concept of the “Area of Normal Functioning” (ANF) from technical systems to human, orga
