Time-dependence in 3D mantle convection models

The view of the lower mantle as a ?graveyard? of subducted crust prevailed for decades and was supported by the Hofmann and White (1982) ...

We have developed a new method for implementing subduction that parameterizes the deformation associated with bending of the oceanic lithosphere within a small ...
Thermal perturbations caused by large impacts and consequences ...
Both are in a region with thin lithosphere, where a mantle plume has been suggested. Hence upper mantle viscosity could be regionally reduced, ...
Plumes from the heterogeneous Earth's mantle
This large-scale flow is conceptually similar to a mechanism ad- vocated by King & Anderson (1995, 1998) for the generation of continental flood basalts.
Chapter 6 Mantle Convection with Strong Subduction Zones
PROGNOZ-7 was launched into an orbital plane for which the inbound part was at a local time of about 1900 and the inbound orbit moved into the dayside after ...
On the state of sublithospheric upper mantle beneath a supercontinent
For instance, the student will build a program to represent convection (in the Earth mantle, in stars or in ocean or atmospheric boundary layers) ...
THE PLASMA MANTLE - INIS
This tomography-based modelling of the mantle convective flow is equivalent to assuming that the conservation of energy equation has already been 'solved' (at.
Numerical Modelling of Buoyancy Induced Flow in Earth's Mantle
Burdick and Heimberger (1978) derived an upper mantle model for the Western United. States basically from long-period earthquake records. ... tD.
Taille des grains et localisation de la déformation dans la lithosphère

The thermo-chemical evolution of Mars with a strongly stratified mantle
Abstract. The Martian mantle probably experienced an early global magma ocean stage. The crystallization and the fractionation and overturn of such a magma ...
7.02 Physics of Mantle Convection
choice for the function F(r), at least for mantle dynamicists, is the Murnaghan EoS (Murnaghan, 1951) at constant T that allows us to write an EoS for solids of ...
Stagnant-lid convection: comparison of viscosity laws and uniform ...
A large range of parameters is covered in this study and results that are obtained here for Earth's mantle are actually also relevant for icy.
Fluid dynamics of planetary differentiation
The ranges given here take into account the pressure and temperature ranges that are representative of the Earth's mantle and magma oceans, and ...
