During the last four decades, subduction remained one of the most challenging and
captivating geodynamic processes investigated with numerical techniques. While significant …

Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

A theoretical model for the dynamics of a simple two‐phase mixture is presented. A classical
averaging approach combined with symmetry arguments is used to derive the mass …

Many unresolved questions in geodynamics revolve around the physical behaviour of the
two-phase system of a silicate melt percolating through and interacting with a tectonically …

A nonlinear viscoelastoplastic theory is developed for porous rate‐dependent materials
filled with a fluid in the presence of gravity. The theory is based on a rigorous …

The first four rocks examined by the Mars Science Laboratory Alpha Particle X‐ray
Spectrometer indicate that Curiosity landed in a lithologically diverse region of Mars. These …

Magma genesis and transport link mantle convection with surface volcanism and hence with
the long-term chemical and morphological evolution of the Earth's; crust. Modeling the …

In many text books of fluid dynamics, and for most students, the word “fluid” refers to one of
the states of matter, either liquid or gaseous, in contrast to the solid state. This definition is …

The two-phase theory for compaction and damage proposed by (2001a, J. Geophys. Res.,
106, 8887–8906) employs a nonequilibrium relation between interfacial surface energy …
