The core–mantle boundary (CMB)–the interface between the silicate mantle and liquid iron
alloy outer core–is the most important boundary inside our planet, with processes occurring …

The two large low shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) that dominate lower-mantle
structure may hold key information on Earth's thermal and chemical evolution. It is generally …

We complete the development and description of a thermodynamic method for the
computation of phase equilibria and physical properties of multiphase mantle assemblages …

We present a new global thermochemical model of the lithosphere and underlying upper
mantle constrained by state of the art seismic waveform inversion, satellite gravity (geoid …

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 …

A melt has greater volume than a silicate solid of the same composition. But this difference
diminishes at high pressure, and the possibility that a melt sufficiently enriched in the heavy …

Improved constraints on lower-mantle composition are fundamental to understand the
accretion, differentiation, and thermochemical evolution of our planet. Cosmochemical …

The mantle's compositional structure reflects the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Yet,
even the radial average composition of the mantle remains debated. Here, we analyze a …

The lowermost (> 2400km) Earth's mantle mapped by seismic tomography is strongly
heterogeneous, the most striking feature being two large regions where shear-wave velocity …

We present BurnMan, an open‐source mineral physics toolbox to determine elastic
properties for specified compositions in the lower mantle by solving an Equation of State …
