Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review
As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …

Density-functional perturbation theory for quasi-harmonic calculations
Computer simulations allow for the investigation of many materials properties and processes
that are not easily accessible in the laboratory. This is particularly true in the Earth sciences …

Changbaishan volcanism in northeast China linked to subduction-induced mantle upwelling
Volcanism that occurs far from plate margins is difficult to explain with the current paradigm
of plate tectonics. The Changbaishan volcanic complex, located on the border between …

Episodic zircon age spectra of orogenic granitoids: the supercontinent connection and continental growth
To identify age peaks and other features in an isotopic age distribution, it is common to
perform a kernel density estimation or similar analysis. A key aspect of this estimation …

Adiabatic temperature profile in the mantle
The temperature at the 410-km discontinuity is re-evaluated by comparing the depth of the
discontinuity with the olivine–wadsleyite transition pressure obtained using in situ X-ray …
