Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
, 1986 We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

Intraplate Seamounts as a Window into Deep Earth Processes [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Seamounts are windows into the deep Earth that are helping to elucidate various deep Earth processes. For example, thermal and mechanical properties of oceanic lithosphere can be deter-mined from the flexing of oceanic crust caused by the growth of ...

Komatiites From Mantle Transition Zone Plumes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 During the Archean, episodic volcanism commonly included both plume- and arc-type magmatism, raising the issue of a possible link between “bottom up” and “top down” geodynamic processes.

The Probability of Mantle Plumes in Global Tomographic Models
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 While the downward mass flux in the Earth's deep interior is well constrained by seismic tomography, the upward flux is still poorly understood and debated.

How the Indian Ocean Geoid Low Was Formed
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The origin of the Earth's lowest geoid, the Indian Ocean geoid low (IOGL) has been controversial. The geoid predicted from present‐day tomography models has shown that mid to upper mantle hot anomalies are integral in generating the IOGL.

Nature Communications, 2021 Magmatic productivity at passive margins is controlled by mantle temperature and rifting style. The authors reveal that melt volume at rifted margins is linearly correlated with margin width and that volcanic margins may result from depth dependent ...

Plume tectonics – myth or reality?
Записки Горного института, 2017 The paper is dedicated to the role of mantle plumes in the formation of large igneous provinces. From different regions of the world facts are mentioned that contradict key points of plume tectonics.

Mantle Plumes and Their Interactions
, 2022 Hotspots are regions of intraplate volcanism or especially strong volcanism along plateboundaries, and many of them are likely caused by underlying mantle plumes – localizedhot upwellings from deep inside the Earth. It is still uncertain, whether all plumes or justsome of them rise from the lowermost mantle, and to what extent and where theyentrain ...

Symmetry and plate-like convection in fluids with temperature-dependent viscosity [PDF]
, 2014 We explore the instabilities developed in a fluid in which viscosity depends on temperature. In particular, we consider a dependency that models a very viscous (and thus rather rigid) lithosphere over a convecting mantle.

Are mantle plumes adiabatic? [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2001 Abstract The issue concerning the state of adiabaticity of mantle plumes has been examined in a cartesian two-dimensional box with an aspect-ratio of six. We have investigated in the quasi steady-state regime high Rayleigh number convection with both depth-dependent viscosity and thermal expansivity for both the Boussinesq and the extended Boussinesq
