The core–mantle boundary (CMB)–the interface between the silicate mantle and liquid iron
alloy outer core–is the most important boundary inside our planet, with processes occurring …

With changing pressure and temperature conditions, downwelling and upwelling crustal and
mantle rocks experience several solid–solid phase transitions that affect the mineral …

Constraining magnitudes of mechanical and thermo-mechanical parameters of rocks and
shear zones are the important goals in structural geology and tectonics (Talbot in J Struct …

We have modelled the time-dependent dynamics of exosolar planets within the framework of
a two-dimensional Cartesian model and the extended-Boussinesq approximation. The mass …

Intraplate continental magmatism represents a fundamental mechanism in Earth's magmatic,
thermal, chemical and environmental evolution. It is a process intimately linked with crustal …

We have carried out numerical simulations of large aspect-ratio 2-D mantle convection with
the deep phase change from perovskite (pv) to post-perovskite (ppv). Using the extended …

To address uncertainties in the values and mathematical form of the radiative thermal
conductivity krad in the mantle, we developed new models for the transport, scattering, and …

Terra Nova, 23, 333–338, 2011 Abstract Continental masses were amalgamated, broken
apart and reassembled within supercontinents during different times in Earth history. Here …

Direct sampling of mantle rocks and minerals is limited to tectonic slices emplaced at the
surface (Chapter 3.4), smaller xenoliths transported upward by magmatic processes …

ABSTRACT A large number of small-scale lacustrine sedimentary basins are widely
distributed across China. Studies of such basins have been limited. These basins have …
