The researcher says a new study may change the way we look at the evolution of water on the earth

The BBC reports on a new study that suggests water on a nascent earth could have come from comets, a conclusion that James Greenwood, research associate professor, Earth and Environmental Sciences, says could have broad implications for our theories of how the planet and life here evolved. Greenwood recently proved through a study of rocks brought back by the Apollo missions that the moon holds water.
