Evolving mantle convection from bottom up to top down.
Mitchell RN, Brown M, Gernon TM, Spencer CJ. Mitchell RN, et al. Innovation (Camb). 2022 Sep 6;3(6):100309. doi: 10.1016/j.xinn.2022.100309. eCollection 2022 Nov 8. Innovation (Camb). 2022. PMID: 36164640 Free PMC article.
Convective asymmetry predominated by positive buoyancy, or bottom-up convection, would be driven by plume ascent, whereas if it were predominated by negative buoyancy, or top-down convection, it would be driven by plate subduction. Symmetric convection …

Zoned mantle convection.
Albarède F, Van Der Hilst RD. Albarède F, et al. Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2002 Nov 15;360(1800):2569-92. doi: 10.1098/rsta.2002.1081. Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2002. PMID: 12460481
We review the present state of our understanding of mantle convection with respect to geochemical and geophysical evidence and we suggest a model for mantle convection and its evolution over the Earth's history that can reconcile this evidence. Whole- …

Hybrid Rendering for Interactive Visualization of Mantle Convection.
McGraw T, Eddy M. McGraw T, et al. IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2022 Nov-Dec;42(6):96-106. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2022.3173557. Epub 2022 Dec 13. IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2022. PMID: 35536799
In this article, we describe our system for visualizing convection in the Earth's mantle using hybrid rendering-a combination of interactive raytracing, raycasting, and conventional rasterization graphics. ...We demonstrate how these methods can be used to explore t …

Can mantle convection be self-regulated?
Korenaga J. Korenaga J. Sci Adv. 2016 Aug 19;2(8):e1601168. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.1601168. eCollection 2016 Aug. Sci Adv. 2016. PMID: 27551689 Free PMC article.
The notion of self-regulating mantle convection, in which heat loss from the surface is constantly adjusted to follow internal radiogenic heat production, has been popular for the past six decades since Urey first advocated the idea. Thanks to its intuitive appeal, …

Crustal evolution and mantle dynamics through Earth history.
Korenaga J. Korenaga J. Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2018 Oct 1;376(2132):20170408. doi: 10.1098/rsta.2017.0408. Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2018. PMID: 30275159 Free PMC article. Review.
Resolving the modes of mantle convection through Earth history, i.e. when plate tectonics started and what kind of mantle dynamics reigned before, is essential to the understanding of the evolution of the whole Earth system, because plate tectonics influences …

Mantle convection and plate tectonics: toward an integrated physical and chemical theory.
Tackley PJ. Tackley PJ. Science. 2000 Jun 16;288(5473):2002-7. doi: 10.1126/science.288.5473.2002. Science. 2000. PMID: 10856206
Plate tectonics and convection of the solid, rocky mantle are responsible for transporting heat out of Earth. ...There has been rapid progress on these two problems, with the emergence of the first self-consistent models of plate tectonics and mantle conve …

Whole-mantle convection with tectonic plates preserves long-term global patterns of upper mantle geochemistry.
Barry TL, Davies JH, Wolstencroft M, Millar IL, Zhao Z, Jian P, Safonova I, Price M. Barry TL, et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 12;7(1):1870. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-01816-y. Sci Rep. 2017. PMID: 28500352 Free PMC article.
The evolution of the planetary interior during plate tectonics is controlled by slow convection within the mantle. Global-scale geochemical differences across the upper mantle are known, but how they are preserved during convection has not been adequat …

The evolution of the Galapagos mantle plume.
Soderman CR, Shorttle O, Gazel E, Geist DJ, Matthews S, Williams HM. Soderman CR, et al. Sci Adv. 2023 Mar 10;9(10):eadd5030. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.add5030. Epub 2023 Mar 10. Sci Adv. 2023. PMID: 36897953 Free PMC article.
The lavas associated with mantle plumes may sample domains throughout Earth's mantle and probe its dynamics. However, plume studies are often only able to take snapshots in time, usually of the most recent plume activity, leaving the chemical and geodynamic evolutio …

The Earth's mantle.
Helffrich GR, Wood BJ. Helffrich GR, et al. Nature. 2001 Aug 2;412(6846):501-7. doi: 10.1038/35087500. Nature. 2001. PMID: 11484043
In contrast, geochemical analyses of the basaltic products of mantle melting are frequently used to infer that mantle convection is layered, with the deeper mantle largely isolated from the upper mantle. We show that geochemical, seismological a …

Periclase deforms more slowly than bridgmanite under mantle conditions.
Cordier P, Gouriet K, Weidner T, Van Orman J, Castelnau O, Jackson JM, Carrez P. Cordier P, et al. Nature. 2023 Jan;613(7943):303-307. doi: 10.1038/s41586-022-05410-9. Epub 2023 Jan 11. Nature. 2023. PMID: 36631648 Free PMC article.
Transport of heat from the interior of the Earth drives convection in the mantle, which involves the deformation of solid rocks over billions of years. The lower mantle of the Earth is mostly composed of iron-bearing bridgmanite MgSiO(3) and approximately 25% …
