Physical, chemical, and chronological characteristics of continental mantle
RW Carlson, DG Pearson, DE James - Reviews of Geophysics, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Unlike in the ocean basins where the shallow mantle eventually contributes to the
destruction of the overlying crust, the shallow mantle beneath continents serves as a stiff …

The faint young Sun problem
G Feulner - Reviews of Geophysics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
For more than four decades, scientists have been trying to find an answer to one of the most
fundamental questions in paleoclimatology, the “faint young Sun problem.” For the early …

Major episodic increases of continental crustal growth determined from zircon ages of river sands; implications for mantle overturns in the Early Precambrian
In order to better understand continental growth history, we have determined the U–Pb age
of about 1500 detrital zircons from river sands in three major rivers in North America and …
