Geophysical Sciences Professor Nicolas Dauphas's recent work calls into question the assumption that the majority of water found on earth arrived after the great impact that split the earth and moon into two bodies. Recent isotopic analyses done by Professor Dauphas and his team indicate that most of the water on earth was accreted before the giant impact.
