Nonlinearity of the post-spinel transition and its expression in slabs and plumes worldwide by Junjie Dong, Rebecca A. Fischer, Lars P. Stixrude, Matthew C. Brennan, Kierstin Daviau, Terry-Ann Suer, Katlyn M. Turner, Yue Meng, Vitali B. Prakapenka

“…Changes in temperature over time and space can therefore cause the post-spinel transition to have variable effects on mantle convection and the movement of subducting slabs and upwelling plumes.…”

Toward the calibration of 2D thermomechanical simulations of magma poor passive continental margins: method, validation and case example by Perron, Paul, Le Pourhiet, Laetitia, Jourdon, Anthony, Cornu, Tristan, Gout, Claude

“…In recent decades, geodynamic modelers have aimed to comprehend key factors governing continental rifting, such as the extension rate, lithospheric thickness, Moho mechanical coupling, and mantle convection’s thermal influence. While prior models offered insights into rifting processes, they lacked the calibration to specific Earth regions. …”

Interior Convection Regime, Host Star Luminosity, and Predicted Atmospheric CO2 Abundance in Terrestrial Exoplanets by Antonin Affholder, Stéphane Mazevet, Boris Sauterey, Dániel Apai, Régis Ferrière

“…In the modern Earth, plate motion corresponds to a mantle convection regime called mobile lid. The alternate, stagnant-lid regime is found on Mars and Venus, which may have lacked strong enough weathering feedback to sustain surface liquid water over geological timescales if initially present. …”
