Superplume, supercontinent, and post-perovskite: mantle dynamics and anti-plate tectonics on the core–mantle boundary
The Western Pacific Triangular Zone (WPTZ) is the frontier of a future supercontinent to be
formed at 250 Ma after present. The WPTZ is characterized by double-sided subduction …

Tidal tomography constrains Earth's deep-mantle buoyancy
Earth's body tide—also known as the solid Earth tide, the displacement of the solid Earth's
surface caused by gravitational forces from the Moon and the Sun—is sensitive to the …

A geophysical perspective on the bulk composition of Mars
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 …

[HTML][HTML] The tectonics and volcanism of Venus: New modes facilitated by realistic crustal rheology and intrusive magmatism
To explain Venus' young surface age and lack of plate tectonics, Venus' tectonic regime has
often been proposed to be either an episodic-lid regime with global lithospheric overturns, or …
