The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper reports the first results from the CHILI project benchmarking multiple codes that simulate coupled interior and atmosphere evolution during the magma ocean phase for Earth and Venus. Nominal Earth models converge on solidification timescales within 4 Myr that align with constraints from Earth's early geological record. Venus models produce more varied outcomes, with some cases sustaining molten stages for as long as 50 Myr depending on starting volatile budgets and code-specific choices. The spread in results traces primarily to differences in how each model treats volatile partitioning, vertical energy transport, mantle convection, melting curves, and radiative transfer. These findings highlight which physical treatments most affect predicted evolutionary paths and atmospheres for the two planets.

What carries the argument

The CHILI intercomparison of multiple coupled atmosphere-interior codes, where differences in volatile partitioning, mantle geodynamics, convection, and radiative transfer produce the observed spread in solidification timescales and atmospheric outcomes.

What would settle it

New geological or geochemical evidence showing that Earth's magma ocean lasted substantially longer than 4 Myr or that Venus never sustained one beyond a few Myr would directly test the nominal model predictions.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper establishes that when several coupled atmosphere-interior evolution codes are applied to identical Earth and Venus initial conditions, they produce short and consistent magma ocean lifetimes for Earth but longer and more divergent lifetimes for Venus, with cooling rates correlating to initial hydrogen and carbon inventories and generated atmospheres commonly exceeding 100 bar surface pressure in C-H-O compositions.

Load-bearing premise

The observed differences between models arise mainly from their distinct treatments of volatile partitioning, energy transport, and mantle properties rather than from any shared approximations or input choices common to all codes.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Earth's magma ocean phase ends rapidly and consistently across models within 4 Myr of thermal evolution.
  • Venus can maintain prolonged magma ocean stages for up to 50 Myr under certain initial conditions and model assumptions.
  • Cooling timescales scale with the initial budgets of hydrogen and carbon.
  • Outgassed atmospheres from these stages tend to reach surface pressures above 100 bar with C-H-O compositions.
  • Model variance is driven by choices in volatile partitioning, mantle viscosity, melting curves, and radiative transfer.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Standardizing the identified sensitive treatments across codes could narrow uncertainty ranges when applying the same models to exoplanets.
  • The reported sensitivities point to specific laboratory experiments on volatile solubility and mantle rheology that would most reduce model spread.
  • These timescale differences could help explain the divergent water histories of Earth and Venus if linked to escape processes.
  • Extending the intercomparison to other terrestrial planet scenarios would test whether the Earth-Venus contrast generalizes.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript presents the first results from the CHILI intercomparison project, in which multiple independent coupled atmosphere-interior evolution codes are benchmarked on the primordial magma-ocean solidification phase for Earth and Venus. Nominal Earth models are reported to solidify within 4 Myr and to be consistent with empirical constraints on early Earth; Venus models exhibit greater diversity, with some cases sustaining magma oceans for up to 50 Myr. Cooling timescales are stated to correlate with initial hydrogen and carbon budgets, while substantial inter-model variance is attributed to differences in volatile partitioning, vertical energy transport, mantle geodynamics, convection, melting curves, rheological properties, and radiative transfer. High-pressure (>100 bar) C-H-O atmospheres are favored across the ensemble.

Significance. If the reported ranges and attribution of variance hold, the work is significant because it systematically identifies key sensitivities in volatile handling, escape, and radiative transfer that affect interpretations of terrestrial-planet early histories and exoplanet observations. The participation of multiple independent modeling groups constitutes a clear methodological strength that lowers circularity risk relative to single-code studies.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the central claims that Earth models solidify 'within 4 Myr' and are 'consistent with empirical constraints,' and that Venus models can sustain magma oceans for '50 Myr,' are presented without the individual model outputs, standard deviations, or quantitative error bars needed to assess robustness or the magnitude of inter-model spread.
  2. [Results/Discussion] Results/Discussion: the attribution of inter-model variance primarily to differences in volatile partitioning, vertical energy transport, mantle geodynamics, convection, melting curves, rheology, and radiative transfer is stated without quantitative sensitivity tests or isolation of these effects from possible shared approximations (e.g., common initial-condition choices or equation-of-state assumptions) across the participating codes.
minor comments (2)
  1. The term 'nominal' models is used repeatedly but never explicitly defined with respect to the exact parameter values or selection criteria applied by each group.
  2. The manuscript would benefit from a table or figure that tabulates the initial H and C budgets adopted by each participating code alongside the resulting solidification times.

To better convey robustness, we will revise the abstract to explicitly note the range of outcomes across participating codes and the presence of inter-model variability. revision: yes

    Authors: The variance attribution follows directly from the documented differences in physical treatments and parameterizations among the independent codes. This initial intercomparison phase did not include dedicated one-at-a-time sensitivity experiments to isolate every factor.

No significant circularity; results are simulation outputs from independent codes

full rationale

The paper reports outcomes of an intercomparison project (CHILI) involving multiple independent modeling groups running their own codes on Earth and Venus magma ocean scenarios. The central claims—Earth solidification within 4 Myr and Venus up to 50 Myr under some conditions—are direct simulation results from nominal runs, not a derivation that reduces to fitted parameters or self-defined quantities within this manuscript. No equations, ansatzes, or uniqueness theorems are presented that could exhibit self-definitional, fitted-input, or self-citation circularity. The attribution of inter-model variance to differences in volatile partitioning, energy transport, and other treatments is consistent with the benchmarking purpose and does not rely on any load-bearing self-citation chain. The work is self-contained as a report of cross-code empirical outputs.

Assumptions & free parameters 1 free parameters · 1 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The central claims rest on the premise that participating codes differ mainly in the listed physical treatments and that initial volatile budgets are the dominant control on cooling timescales. No explicit free parameters are named, but initial H and C budgets function as varied inputs. No new entities are postulated.

Earth and Venus represent two evolutionary outcomes arising from initially molten 'magma ocean' periods, followed by lifetimes of chemical and geophysical divergence. Their physics is common to all rocky planets and is accessible to simulations that adopt coupled interior-atmosphere modelling approaches. Our understanding of planet histories and interpretation of current states is dependent on this modelling, yet existing codes vary in their approximations. Here, we present the first results from the Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) project; benchmarking planetary evolution codes in the context of Earth and Venus to identify key model sensitivities. Our 'nominal' Earth models predict magma ocean solidification timescales within 4 Myr of thermal evolution, and are consistent with empirical constraints on Earth's early history. Venus scenarios exhibit more diverse behaviours where prolonged magma ocean stages can be conditionally sustained for 50 Myr. Cooling timescales correlate with initial hydrogen and carbon budgets, but model-specific treatments of volatile partitioning and vertical energy transport introduce substantial inter-model variance. Different parametrisations of mantle geodynamics, convection, melting curves, rheological properties, and radiative transfer give rise to divergent evolutionary behaviours. Discrepancies in atmospheres generated by magma ocean outgassing underscore these differences, although C-H-O compositions with surface pressures exceeding 100 bar are favoured. This intercomparison identifies critical sensitivities in volatile partitioning, escape processes, mantle viscosity, and melting. Validating these treatments is essential for enabling deep insight into the early histories of the Solar System's terrestrial planets, and for drawing meaningful interpretations from ongoing observational exoplanet campaigns.
