Basal Mantle Flow Over LLSVPs Explains Differences in Pacific and Indo‐Atlantic Hotspot Motions
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: SOLID EARTH
01 january 2024
Ashley Bellas, Leigh Royden
Surface hotspot motions are approximately a factor of two faster in the Pacific than the Indo‐Atlantic, and the Indo‐Atlantic large low...
Slab dips as constraints on upper mantle pressure
STATE OF THE ARC: QUESTIONS AND PROGRESS ON SUBDUCTION ZONE GEODYNAMICS II ORAL
study of earth's deep interior | 12 december 2023
Adam Holt, Samuel Goldberg, Leigh Royden
Most existing constraints on mantle flow or the dynamic pressure that drives this flow are either sparse or indirect. This study focuses on assessin...
