An update of the convection code ASPECT enables full coupling of plume dynamics with buoyancy effects of transition zone ...

These results have important implications for our understanding of the nature of mantle convection, degree of partial melting and extent of magma mixing. Sophisticated geophysical models suggest ...

To do so, Dr. Straume digitized paleogeographic maps and other available data of Eurasia, Arabia and North Africa to generate digital elevation models ... the role of mantle convection to explain ...

Overall, Professors Sun and Tkalčić determine that mantle convection is the primary cause of Mars's unusual dichotomy, not giant impacts as the alternative hypothesis suggests. But their ...
