Synthetic seismic signature of thermal mantle plumes

S Goes, F Cammarano, U Hansen - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004 - Elsevier
The first seismic images of mantle plumes have been a source of significant debate. To

Toward a boot strap hypothesis of plate tectonics: feedbacks between plates, the asthenosphere, and the wavelength of mantle convection

A Lenardic, M Weller, T Höink, J Seales - Physics of the Earth and …, 2019 - Elsevier
The solid Earth system is characterized by plate tectonics, a low viscosity zone beneath
plates (the asthenosphere), and long wavelength flow in the convecting mantle. We use …

The importance of radiative heat transfer on superplumes in the lower mantle with the new post-perovskite phase change

C Matyska, DA Yuen - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2005 - Elsevier
A new post-perovskite phase has been identified recently from both X-ray observations and
first-principles calculations. This novel phase change occurs at a depth about 200 km above …

Investigations into the applicability of adaptive finite element methods to two‐dimensional infinite Prandtl number thermal and thermochemical convection
