Convective flow in the deep mantle controls Earth's dynamic evolution, influences plate
tectonics, and has shaped Earth's current surface features. Present and past convection …

The D′′ region, which lies in the lowermost few hundred kilometres of the mantle, is a
central cog in the Earth's heat engine, influencing convection in the underlying core and …

The rheological properties of the mantle of super-Earths have important influences on their
orbital and thermal evolution. Mineral physics observations are reviewed to obtain some …

Understanding deformation of mineral phases in the lowermost mantle is important for
interpreting seismic anisotropy in Earth's interior. Recently, there has been considerable …

It is well known that regions of the lowermost mantle—D ″—exhibit significant seismic
anisotropy. Identifying a unique mechanism for seismic anisotropy in D ″and interpreting …

The coverage of a given diffraction instrument as a percentage of the area 2π of a pole
figure hemisphere is a crucial parameter of each diffraction instrument used for texture or …

The dynamics of Earth's D ″layer at the base of the mantle plays an essential role in Earth's
thermal and chemical evolution. Mantle convection in D ″is thought to result in seismic …

Since 2004, we have known that perovskite, the most abundant mineral in the lower mantle,
has the capacity to transform to a denser structure, post-perovskite, if subjected to sufficiently …

In order to test the hypothesis that seismic anisotropy in the lowermost mantle is caused by
the development of a post‐perovskite lattice preferred orientation, and that anisotropy can …

In the deep earth, deformation occurs at many scales: large-scale convection produces
subduction of slabs and upwelling of plumes in the mantle. At the high temperature/high …
