Mantle plumes and their role in Earth processes
The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

The dynamics of Cenozoic and Mesozoic plate motions
Our understanding of the dynamics of plate motions is based almost entirely upon modeling
of present‐day plate motions. A fuller understanding, however, can be derived from …

Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene
K Lambeck, H Rouby, A Purcell… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
The major cause of sea-level change during ice ages is the exchange of water between ice
and ocean and the planet's dynamic response to the changing surface load. Inversion of∼ …

A new inference of mantle viscosity based upon joint inversion of convection and glacial isostatic adjustment data
We present new profiles of mantle viscosity derived on the basis of non-linear, Occam-style
joint inversions of an extensive set of data associated with mantle convection and glacial …

Viscosity jump in Earth's mid-mantle
The viscosity structure of Earth's deep mantle affects the thermal evolution of Earth, the
ascent of mantle plumes, settling of subducted oceanic lithosphere, and the mixing of …

Postglacial variations in the level of the sea: Implications for climate dynamics and solid‐earth geophysics
WR Peltier - Reviews of geophysics, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Throughout the latter half of the Pleistocene epoch of Earth history, beginning∼ 900 kyr ago,
the climate system has been dominated by an intense oscillation between full glacial and …

On the uncertainties in hot spot reconstructions and the significance of moving hot spot reference frames
It is widely accepted that substantial relative motion has occurred between the Indo‐Atlantic
and Pacific hot spots since the Late Cretaceous. At the same time, a fixed Indo‐Atlantic hot …

Deep-mantle high-viscosity flow and thermochemical structure inferred from seismic and geodynamic data
Surface geophysical data that are related to the process of thermal convection in the Earth's
mantle provide constraints on the rheological properties and density structure of the mantle …
