DOI: 10.1007/s00531-020-01850-8
Abstract: In this study, we investigate the impact of Late Cretaceous to Neogene plate tectonics and Pleistocene ice load on the post-Jurassic strata above the Waabs salt wall within the Eastern Glückstadt Graben by integrating reflection… read more here.

Plate tectonics and mantle controls on plume dynamics

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116439
Abstract: Abstract Mantle plumes provide valuable information about whole-mantle convection: they originate at the core-mantle boundary, cross Earth's mantle and interact with the lithosphere. For instance, it has been proposed that the mobility/stability of plumes depends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2017.04.024
Abstract: Abstract The chemistry of the oceans in part reflects a balance between inputs from the continents and mantle. Traditionally, it has been thought that Archean ocean chemistry was dominated by mantle sources, but recent work… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2018.03.005
Abstract: In studying the petrogenesis of intra-plate ocean island basalts (OIB) associated with hotspots or mantle plumes, we hypothesized that the two large-low-shear-wave-velocity provinces(LLSVPs) at the base of the mantle beneath the Pacific (Jason) and Africa… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018tc005427
Abstract: Although plate tectonics has pushed the frontiers of geosciences in the past 50 years, it has legitimate limitations, and among them we focus on both the absence of dynamics in the theory and the difficulty… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2806-7
Abstract: The ancient cores of continents (cratons) are underlain by mantle keels-volumes of melt-depleted, mechanically resistant, buoyant and diamondiferous mantle up to 350 kilometres thick, which have remained isolated from the hotter and denser convecting mantle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10899995.2021.1983941
Abstract: Abstract Many geoscience phenomena cannot be perceived at human temporal or spatial scales. As a consequence, we can only understand many processes that drive geological phenomena through analogical reasoning. Building deep conceptual understanding requires instruction… read more here.
