Mantle and sub-lithosphere mantle gravity maps from the LITHO1.0 global lithospheric model

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
Abstract Methods for a spherical harmonic analysis and synthesis of global gravitational and lithospheric structure models are applied to compile the mantle and sub-lithospheric mantle gravity maps. Both gravity maps are then interpreted and assessed by means of their accuracy.

Heterogeneous lithospheric mantle

2021
<p>The lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer atop mantle convection and a chemical boundary layer formed by mantle differentiation and melt extraction. The two boundary layers may everywhere have different thicknesses. Worldwide, the thicknesses of thermal and chemical boundary layers vary significantly, reflecting thermal and ...

The continental lithospheric mantle: characteristics and significance as a mantle reservoir

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002
The continental lithospheric mantle (CLM) is a small-volumed (ca. 2.5% of the total mantle), chemically distinct mantle reservoir that has been suggested to play a role in the source of continental and oceanic magmatism. It is our most easily identifiable reservoir for preserving chemical heterogeneity in the mantle.

Layering of subcontinental lithospheric mantle

Science Bulletin, 2017
Recent seismic studies reveal a sharp velocity drop mostly at ∼70-100km depth within the thick mantle keel beneath cratons, termed the mid-lithosphere discontinuity (MLD). The common presence of the MLD in cratonic regions indicates structural and property layering of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM).

Thermochemical lithosphere differentiation and the origin of cratonic mantle

Nature, 2020
Cratons record the early history of continental lithosphere formation, yet how they became the most enduring part of the lithosphere on Earth remains unknown1. Here we propose a mechanism for the formation of large volumes of melt-depleted cratonic lithospheric mantle (CLM) and its evolution to stable cratons.
