The latest paper in The Journal of Geophysical Research was the first
to provide the correct explanation for why the Southern Hemisphere is
so oceanic while the Northern Hemisphere is crowded with continental
crust. Der Spiegel, the largest news magazine in Europe, has devoted
a large article ( English translation) to this JGR paper.
