On the predictability limit of convection models of the Earth's mantle [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 Reconstructing convective flow in the Earth's mantle is a crucial issue for a diversity of disciplines, from seismology to sedimentology. The common and fundamental limitation of these reconstructions based on geodynamic modeling is the unknown initial ...

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.

Mercury, Moon, Mars: Surface expressions of mantle convection and interior evolution on stagnant-lid bodies [PDF]
, 2021 The convective motion of material in Earth's mantle, powered by heat from the deep interior of our planet, drives plate tectonics at the surface, generating earthquakes and volcanic activity. It shapes our familiar surface landscapes, and also stabilizes

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.

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.

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 ...

Modification of the lithospheric stress field by lateral variations in plate-mantle coupling [PDF]
, 2009 The presence of deeply penetrating continental roots may locally increase the magnitude of basal shear tractions by up to a factor of 4 compared to a layered viscosity structure.

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.
