Mantle plumes on Venus revisited [PDF]
The Equatorial Highlands of Venus consist of a series of quasicircular regions of high topography, rising up to about 5 km above the mean planetary radius.

Anomalies of Density, Stresses, and the Gravitational Field in the Interior of Mars
We determined the possible compensation depths for relief harmonics of different degrees and orders. The relief is shown to be completely compensated within the depth range of 0 to 1400 km.

Low-velocity anomaly in the Coral Sea associated with subducting slabs and the Woodlark rift
Classical plume models offer insights into intraplate volcanism and seamount chain formation by assuming a cylindrical upwelling of hot materials from the core-mantle boundary.

Sea floor swells and mantle plumes [PDF]
Most of the intraplate oceanic hot spots are located on the crest of broad topographic swells in the sea floor. These swells have Gaussian shaped profiles, with up to 1.6 km of relief and half widths of 200 to 300 km.

Abstract From oxic atmosphere to metallic core, the Earth's components are broadly stratified with respect to oxygen fugacity. A simple picture of reducing oxygen fugacity with depth may be disrupted by the accumulation of oxidised crustal material in the deep lower mantle, entrained there as a result of subduction. While hotspot volcanoes are fed by

Seismic anisotropy, observed in the lowermost mantle near Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), is likely caused by strong deformation from mantle flow interacting with these regions and/or plume formation.

Long‐Lived Source Heterogeneities in the Galapagos Mantle Plume
Mantle plume‐derived melts provide a unique glimpse into the chemical heterogeneity of the deep mantle. However, the exact processes involved in forming and sampling lower mantle heterogeneities remain unresolved and thus, require further investigation ...

Reaching for Ancestral Heritage: Sakha Collections in the Museums of the World
ABSTRACT This paper is devoted to the collections of old Sakha objects produced by Indigenous craftsmen in the north of the Russian Empire and now located in many museums around the world. For several centuries, objects representing Sakha material culture were taken away from their place of origin by explorers, scholars, collectors, and missionaries ...

Towards Realistic Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae
Two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamical simulations of progenitor evolution of a 23 solar mass star, close to core collapse (about 1 hour, in 1D), with simultaneously active C, Ne, O, and Si burning shells, are presented and contrasted to existing 1D models (
