The Urey ratio describes the contribution of internal heat production to planetary‐scale
energy balance, and knowing this thermal budget for Earth is essential to understand its …

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 …

This article describes a web-based tool (PASCal; principal axis strain calculator;
http://pascal. chem. ox. ac. uk) designed to simplify the determination of principal coefficients …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

55 4.4 Experimental techniques 57 4.5 Some general trends in elasticity: Birch's law 59 4.6 …

Constraints on mantle temperatures are fundamental for a better understanding of the
dynamics of the Earth. We evaluate how well upper-mantle thermal structure can be inferred …

Large Igneous Province (LIP) eruption sites of the past 300 My lie vertically above 1% slow
shear wave velocity (Vs) contours bounding the African and Pacific Large Low Shear …

A boundary between compositionally distinct regions at a depth of about 1600 kilometers
may explain the seismological observations pertaining to Earth's lower mantle, produce the …

By comparison with the Earth-like planets and the large icy satellites of the Solar System,
one can model the internal structure of extrasolar planets. The input parameters are the …

Room temperature static compression of MgO (periclase) was performed under nearly
hydrostatic conditions using energy dispersive synchrotron X‐ray diffraction in a diamond …
