Sluggish thermochemical basal mantle structures support their long-lived stability

Nature Communications
Large low shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) in the lowermost mantle are the largest geological structures on Earth, but their origin and age remain highly enigmatic.

Linking rates of slab sinking to long-term lower mantle flow and mixing [PDF]

Numerical models of Earth's mantle dynamics that aim to comply with a variety of surface observations and/or modern mantle structure, still predict a widely varying vigour of mantle flow which governs the long-term evolution of mantle structure and ...
