Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 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.

Joint modeling of lithosphere and mantle dynamics elucidating lithosphere‐mantle coupling [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 We provide new insights into the lithosphere‐mantle coupling problem through a joint modeling of lithosphere dynamics and mantle convection and through comparison of model results with the high resolution velocity gradient tensor model along the Earth's plate boundary zones.

Coupling Between Lithosphere Removal and Mantle Flow in the Central Andes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The central Andes is part of a Cordilleran orogen formed through continent‐ocean convergence. In contrast to the thickened crust, the mantle lithosphere below much of the orogen is anomalously thin.

Robust Seismic Images of the Hawaiian Plume
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 To image the Hawaiian plume and the plume‐lithosphere interaction, we determine a robust 3‐D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model of the upper mantle and the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath Hawaii by jointly inverting teleseismic S‐wave arrival times ...

A comparison of oceanic and continental mantle lithosphere
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2020 Over the last decade, seismological studies have shed new light on the properties of the mantle lithosphere and their physical and chemical origins. This paper synthesizes recent work to draw comparisons between oceanic and continental lithosphere, with ...

Effects of Composite Rheology on Plate‐Like Behavior in Global‐Scale Mantle Convection
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Earth's upper mantle rheology controls lithosphere‐asthenosphere coupling and thus surface tectonics. Rock deformation experiments and seismic anisotropy measurements indicate that composite rheology (co‐existing diffusion and dislocation creep) occurs ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 The lithospheric mantle, formed at the mid-ocean ridge as a residue of crustal production, comprises theoretically depleted peridotite, but more fertile components (e.g., lherzolite and pyroxenite) have been reported, creating an enigmatic picture of the

Heavy oxygen recycled into the lithospheric mantle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractMagmas in volcanic arcs have geochemical and isotopic signatures that can be related to mantle metasomatism due to fluids and melts released by the down-going oceanic crust and overlying sediments, which modify the chemistry and mineralogy of the mantle wedge.
