Nature Communications, 2017 Mantle partial melting produced the volcanic crust of Mercury. Here, the authors numerically model the formation of post-impact melt sheets and find that mantle convection was weak at around 3.7–3.8 Ga and that the melt sheets of Caloris and Rembrandt ...

On the global geodynamic consequences of different phase boundary morphologies [PDF]
Solid EarthPhase transitions can influence mantle convection patterns, inhibiting or promoting vertical flow. One such transition is the ringwoodite-to-bridgmanite plus periclase transition, which has a negative Clapeyron slope and therefore reduces mantle flow ...

Difference and the Liberation of Sufficient Reason
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) holds that every event and entity can be explained by a sufficient reason or cause. Philosophers have long struggled with the question of the PSR's compatibility with freedom, for if what occurs or exists follows necessarily from its sufficient reason then it seems it could not have been otherwise ...

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

pyMelt: An extensible Python engine for mantle melting calculations
Volcanica, 2022 Modelling the melting of Earth’s mantle is crucial for understanding the distribution of volcanic activity on Earth and for testing models of mantle convection and mantle lithological heterogeneity.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe compositional evolution of the Earth's mantle is the result of mantle differentiation and thermal evolution. Partial melting of mantle materials produces geochemical heterogeneities, allows for degassing and depends on the thermal state of the mantle,

Determination of a steady velocity field in a rotating frame of reference at the surface of the Earth's core [PDF]
, 1996 We relax the steady-motions theorem by solving for a steady velocity field at the surface of the core in a frame of reference drifting at a linear rate with respect to an observer fixed in the mantle frame of reference.

Effects of adiabatic compression on thermal convection in super-Earths of various sizes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 We present two-dimensional numerical models of thermal convection of a compressible fluid in the mantles of super-Earths calculated under the truncated anelastic liquid approximation to discuss how adiabatic compression affects the thermal convection ...

A joint geochemical–geophysical record of time-dependent mantle convection south of Iceland [PDF]
, 2014 The North Atlantic V-Shaped Ridges (VSRs) provide a spatially extensive and clear record of unsteady mantle convective circulation over >40 My>40 My.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is the primary pathway for transferring mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind into the terrestrial magnetosphere. Previous studies have shown that the spatiotemporal dynamics of dayside magnetic reconnection can be inferred remotely from properties of Earth's cusps, specifically their ...
