Seismic tomography has revealed the existence of large‐scale velocity heterogeneities in
the mantle. The interpretation of seismic velocity anomalies in terms of temperature and …

Thermo-chemical convection is the primary process that controls the large-scale dynamics of
the mantle of the Earth and terrestrial planets. Its numerical simulation is one the principal …

Recent studies on intraplate volcanic islands reveal that magma ascends sub-vertically
through these volcanic edifices, following well-defined zones in the lithospheric mantle and …

More than two decades of systematic investigation has made steady progress towards
generating plate-like surface behaviour in models of vigorous mantle convection …

Abstract The 135 Ma Paraná-Etendeka Large Igneous Province (PELIP) is one of the largest
areas of continental flood basalt (CFB) volcanism in the world and is widely agreed to be a …

The plume model has been the leading hypothesis for hotspot volcanism for five decades.
Whereas experiments have clarified how plumes form and rise, the onus has been put on …

We investigate the elastic and anelastic structure of the lowermost mantle at the western
edge of the Pacific large low shear velocity province (LLSVP) by inverting a collection of S …

Previous geodynamic studies have indicated that the presence of a compositionally
anomalous and intrinsically dense (CAID) mantle component can impact both core heat flux …

We investigated mantle noble gas abundance ratios using a global compilation of data from
mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and high 3 He/4 He ocean island basalts (OIB), coupled …

Abstract In peninsular India, the Deccan Traps record massive, continental‐scale volcanism
in a sequence of magmatic events that corresponds with the timing of mass extinction at the …
