Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 435-447., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Vertical motion modeling as a result of mantle convection on the Sea of Okhotsk profile [PDF]
Геосистемы переходных зон, 2022 Vertical motions, especially in the active continental margins such as Kuril-Kamchatka transition zone, are still pure studied. One of the factors significantly affecting the amplitudes and directions of vertical motions is mantle convections.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Based on the standard view of depth‐increasing viscosity in the mantle of rocky planets, convection in the deep mantle of these planets is expected to become less likely as the size of planet increases.

The impact of rheological uncertainty on dynamic topography predictions [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2019 Much effort is being made to extract the dynamic components of the Earth's topography driven by density heterogeneities in the mantle. Seismically mapped density anomalies have been used as an input into mantle convection models to predict the present ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002 We review the present state of our understanding of mantle convection with respect to geochemical and geophysical evidence and we suggest a model for mantle convection and its evolution over the Earth's history that can reconcile this evidence. Whole-mantle convection, even with material segregated within the D" region just above the core-mantle ...

Application of the Yin-Yang grid to a thermal convection of a Boussinesq fluid with infinite Prandtl number in a three-dimensional spherical shell [PDF]
, 2004 A new numerical finite difference code has been developed to solve a thermal convection of a Boussinesq fluid with infinite Prandtl number in a three-dimensional spherical shell.

Geophysical and geochemical constraints on geoneutrino fluxes from Earth's mantle [PDF]
, 2012 Knowledge of the amount and distribution of radiogenic heating in the mantle is crucial for understanding the dynamics of the Earth, including its thermal evolution, the style and planform of mantle convection, and the energetics of the core.

Rapid transition from primary to secondary crust building on the Moon explained by mantle overturn
Nature Communications, 2023 Geochronology indicates a rapid transition (tens of Myrs) from primary to secondary crust building on the Moon. The processes responsible for initiating secondary magmatism, however, remain in debate.

On the Scales of Dynamic Topography in Whole‐Mantle Convection Models
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 Mantle convection shapes Earth's surface by generating dynamic topography. Observational constraints and regional convection models suggest that surface topography could be sensitive to mantle flow for wavelengths as short as 1,000 and 250 km ...
