Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract Orthodox Christian theology in general prides itself on bearing the mantle of patristic thought. Orthodox theological anthropology is no different, often drawing on Greek patristic sources in presenting its vision of the human being. Yet Orthodox anthropology can also broadly be categorized as personalist in ways that are not necessarily so ...

Geophysical Research LettersSignificant volcanic activity continued for billions of years since 3.5–4 Gyr ago in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) of the Moon, but not so significant outside the PKT.

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 ...

The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary in the North-West Atlantic region [PDF]
, 2005 A detailed knowledge of the thickness of the lithosphere in the north Atlantic is an important parameter for understanding plate tectonics in that region.

Mantle roots of the Emeishan plume: an evaluation based on teleseismic P-wave tomography [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 The voluminous magmatism associated with large igneous provinces (LIPs) is commonly correlated to upwelling plumes from the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Here we analyse seismic tomographic data from the Emeishan LIP in southwestern China.

Are Mantle Plumes Periodic? [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 In the past few years, researchers have uncovered evidence that several kinds of geological and biological events seem to show regular cycles of similar lengths. For example, Rohde and Muller [2005] looked at the record of diversity of marine organisms over the past 540 million years and found evidence for two cycles in the data—a roughly 62‐million ...

The origin and implications of primordial helium depletion in the Afar mantle plume
Communications Earth & EnvironmentMantle plumes are responsible for the Earth’s largest volcanic provinces. In the prevailing paradigm, the deep mantle is less degassed than convecting shallow mantle, implying that plume-derived lavas have higher concentrations of primordial volatiles ...

Control of the symmetry of plume-ridge interaction by spreading ridge geometry [PDF]
, 2010 The Iceland, Gal´apagos and Azores plumes have previously been identified as interacting asymmetrically with adjacent spreading centres. We present evidence that the flow fields in these plume heads are radially symmetric, but the geometry of the mid ...

Northward drift of the Azores plume in the Earth’s mantle
Nature Communications, 2019 Tectonic plate motions are often reconstructed based on the assumption that mantle plumes are fixed within the mantle. Here, the authors provide geochemical and geodynamic evidence to suggest that the asymmetry of the Azores thermal anomaly can be ...
