Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

Resolving the modes of mantle convection through Earth history, ie when plate tectonics
started and what kind of mantle dynamics reigned before, is essential to the understanding …

Simple scaling analysis of temperature‐and stress‐dependent viscosity convection with free‐
slip boundaries suggests three convective regimes: the small viscosity contrast regime …

Previous experimental studies of convection in fluids with temperature‐dependent viscosity
reached viscosity contrasts of the order of 105. Although this value seems large, it still might …

Even a cursory historical look at the development of geology reveals that the cooling of the
Earth has always been a central issue (Birch, 1965; Fourier, 1824; Holmes, 1915; Joly …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

Why Venus lacks plate tectonics remains an unanswered question in terrestrial planet
evolution. There is observational evidence for subduction—a requirement for plate tectonics …

We present an a priori three-dimensional 'tomographic'model of the upper mantle. We
construct this model (called 3SMAC—three-dimensional seismological model a priori …

The detection of induced magnetic fields in the vicinity of the jovian satellites Europa,
Ganymede, and Callisto is one of the most surprising findings of the Galileo mission to …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …
