The Physics of Changing Tectonic Regimes: Implications for the Temporal Evolution of Mantle Convection and the Thermal History of Venus
- Geology, PhysicsJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets
- 2020
Given similar sizes and compositions, Venus invites comparisons with Earth. While Earth convects in the plate tectonic regime, Venus' current and past tectonic states remain uncertain. Venus' impact…
The habitability of a stagnant-lid Earth
- Geology, Physics

Context. Plate tectonics is considered a fundamental component for the habitability of the Earth. Yet whether it is a recurrent feature of terrestrial bodies orbiting other stars or unique to the…
The Southern polar giant impact hypothesis for the origin of the Martian dichotomy and the evolution of volcanism on mars
- Geology
- 2016
We demonstrate via numerical simulations that the impact of a ~ lunar-sized body with Mars is capable of creating a hemispherical magma ocean that upon cooling and solidification resulted in the…
Carbon cycling and interior evolution of water-covered plate tectonics and stagnant-lid planets
- Geology, PhysicsAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 2019
Aims. The long-term carbon cycle for planets with a surface entirely covered by oceans works differently from that of the present-day Earth because inefficient erosion leads to a strong dependence of…

Can mantle convection be self-regulated?
- GeologyScience Advances
- 2016
It is shown that, if the effect of mantle melting on viscosity is taken into account, the adjustment rate cannot be sufficiently high to achieve self-regulation, regardless of the style of mantle convection.
A mushy Earth's mantle for more than 500 Myr after the magma ocean solidification
- GeologyGeophysical Journal International
- 2020
In its early evolution, the Earth mantle likely experienced several episodes of complete melting enhanced by giant impact heating, short-lived radionuclides heating and viscous dissipation during…
The importance of temporal stress variation and dynamic disequilibrium for the initiation of plate tectonics
- Geology
- 2016
We use 1‐D thermal history models and 3‐D numerical experiments to study the impact of dynamic thermal disequilibrium and large temporal variations of normal and shear stresses on the initiation of…

Small-scale convection associated with instabilities at the bottom of the lithospheric plates on the Earth and other terrestrial planets occurs in the stagnant lid regime of temperature-dependent…
THE INFLUENCE OF PRESSURE-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY ON THE THERMAL EVOLUTION OF SUPER-EARTHS
- Physics, Geology

We study the thermal evolution of super-Earths with a one-dimensional (1D) parameterized convection model that has been adopted to account for a strong pressure dependence of the viscosity. A…
Thermal and crustal evolution of Mars
