Dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle through time
The dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle are of first-order relevance for the origin and
modification of the tectonic and volcanic structures we observe on Venus today. Solid-state …

Venusian habitable climate scenarios: Modeling Venus through time and applications to slowly rotating Venus‐like exoplanets
One popular view of Venus' climate history describes a world that has spent much of its life
with surface liquid water, plate tectonics, and a stable temperate climate. Part of the basis for …

Corona structures driven by plume–lithosphere interactions and evidence for ongoing plume activity on Venus
In the absence of global plate tectonics, mantle convection and plume–lithosphere
interaction are the main drivers of surface deformation on Venus. Among documented …

Earth-like lithospheric thickness and heat flow on Venus consistent with active rifting
Venus is Earth's twin in size and radiogenic heat budget, yet it remains unclear how Venus
loses its heat absent plate tectonics. Most Venusian stagnant-lid models predict a thick …

Experimental and observational evidence for plume-induced subduction on Venus
Why Venus lacks plate tectonics remains an unanswered question in terrestrial planet
evolution. There is observational evidence for subduction—a requirement for plate tectonics …

Resurfacing history and volcanic activity of Venus
Photogeologic principles can be used to suggest possible sequences of events that result in
the present planetary surface. The most common method of evaluating the absolute age of a …

Simulating the thermochemical magmatic and tectonic evolution of Venus's mantle and lithosphere: Two‐dimensional models
M Armann, PJ Tackley - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Numerical convection models of the thermochemical evolution of Venus are compared to
present‐day topography and geoid and recent resurfacing history. The models include …

Was Venus ever habitable? Constraints from a coupled interior–atmosphere–redox evolution model
Venus's past climate evolution is uncertain. General circulation model simulations permit a
habitable climate as late as∼ 0.7 Ga, and there is suggestive—albeit inconclusive …
