DOI: 10.1007/s11430-019-9371-0
Abstract: There are usually abrupt changes in lithospheric thickness at the boundaries between ancient cratons and adjacent young mobile belts. Lateral variations in temperature and density between the two can trigger small-scale mantle convection (edge-driven convection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl102560
Abstract: The Ethiopia‐Yemen flood basalts are spatially zoned with progressively lower TiO2 lavas from near the Afar depression toward the margins. The timing and rate of emplacement of low TiO2 (LT) lavas are poorly known compared… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggy416
Abstract: Turbulence and waves in Earth’s iron-rich liquid outer core are believed to be responsible for the generation of the geomagnetic field via dynamo action. When waves break upon the mantle they cause a shift in… read more here.
