Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

The Earth can be viewed as a massive heat engine, with various energy sources and sinks.
Insights into its evolution can be obtained by quantifying the various energy contributions in …

Modelling the geoid has been a widely used and successful approach in constraining flow
and viscosity in the Earth's mantle. However, details of the viscosity structure cannot be …

Two large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) in the deep mantle beneath Africa and the
Pacific are generally interpreted as hot but chemically dense 'piles', which have remained …

Iceland and the encompassing Northeast Atlantic are characterized by abundant volcanism,
anomalously high topography and, in many places, anomalously thick basaltic crust. This …

Earth's surface topography is a direct physical expression of our planet's dynamics. Most is
isostatic, controlled by thickness and density variations within the crust and lithosphere, but …

High‐resolution mantle circulation models (MCMs) together with thermodynamic
mineralogical models make it possible to construct 3‐D elastic mantle heterogeneity based …

We investigate whether predictions of mantle structure from tectonic reconstructions are in
agreement with a detailed tomographic image of seismic P wave velocity structure under the …

Terra Nova, 22, 290–296, 2010 Abstract High wavespeed seismic anomalies in the
transition zone and uppermost lower mantle beneath the India‐Asia collision zone, imaged …

Plume–lithosphere interactions (PLI) have important consequences both for tectonic and
mineralogical evolution of the lithosphere: for example, Archean metallogenic crises at the …
