Abstract: Dynamic topography, the surface deflection induced by sublithosheric mantle flow, is an important prediction made by geodynamic models, but there is an apparent disparity between geodynamic model predictions and estimates of residual topography (total topography… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract We compare mantle dynamic topography predicted from mantle convection modelling with residual topography measurements for oceanic regions, where crustal basement thickness is 10.0 km or less. Measurements of residual topography, calculated by removing the… read more here.
