The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

This paper reviews the evidence for deep continental structure and the arguments against
simple cooling-plate models as explanations of this structure. High-resolution seismological …

The asthenosphere plays a fundamental role in present-day plate tectonics as its low
viscosity controls how convection in the mantle below it is expressed at the Earth's surface …

A new model of whole mantle P-wave tomography is determined with a novel approach. A
grid parameterization instead of blocks and spherical harmonics is adopted to express the …

The available data, mainly topography, geoid, and heat flow, describing hotspots worldwide
are examined to constrain the mechanisms for swell uplift and to obtain fluxes and excess …

A model of three-dimensional shear wave velocity variations in the mantle reveals a tilted
low velocity anomaly extending from the core-mantle boundary (CMB) region beneath the …

Layered viscosity, temperature‐dependent viscosity, and surface plates have an important
effect on the scale and morphology of structure in spherical models of mantle convection …

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 …

We conduct a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of similarities and differences
between recent seismic tomography models of the Earth's mantle in an attempt to determine …
