The Earth can be viewed as a massive heat engine, with various energy sources and sinks. Insights into its evolution can be obtained by quantifying the various energy contributions in …
Large Igneous Province (LIP) eruption sites of the past 300 My lie vertically above 1% slow shear wave velocity (Vs) contours bounding the African and Pacific Large Low Shear …
The Urey ratio describes the contribution of internal heat production to planetary‐scale energy balance, and knowing this thermal budget for Earth is essential to understand its …
The Earth's internal magnetic field varies on timescales of months to billions of years. The field is generated by convection in the liquid outer core, which in turn is influenced by the …
We invert the Martian tidal response and mean mass and moment of inertia for chemical composition, thermal state, and interior structure. The inversion combines phase equilibrium …
Although it is known that the geodynamo has been operating for at least 3.2 Ga, it remains difficult to infer the intensity, dipolarity and stability (occurrence of reversals) of the …

Numerical convection models of the thermochemical evolution of Venus are compared to present‐day topography and geoid and recent resurfacing history. The models include …
We present geodynamic models featuring mantle plumes that are almost exclusively created at the margins of large thermo‐chemical piles in the lowermost mantle. The models are …

Based on SEMUCB‐WM1 tomographic model, validated by other recent models, and fluid mechanics constraints, we show that the large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) …
