How important is continental heterogeneity for subduction dynamics & overriding plate topography?🤔Pretty important as it turns out!👀Check out our NEW PAPER to find out more:sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #continents #subduction #topography @UofGGES @UTGeophysics @txgeosciences

🌍Why do some slabs flatten while others sink into the lower mantle? 🤔 New work with @fcrameri & Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni from @UCLAEPSS shows it comes down to the overriding plate, mantle viscosity, & 💫 the slab bending ratio 💫 Read more here 👉agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

The Role of the Overriding Plate and Mantle Viscosity Structure on Deep Slab Morphology

Deep slab morphologies and dynamics are an expression of overriding plate type and lower mantle viscosity structure Continental lithosphere and a lower mantle viscosity increase at 1,000 km encou...

🌋🌊Submarine lavas from the Afar #mantle plume have lower helium concentrations than the #MORB, suggesting that local mantle domains are helium-depleted due to #subduction of oceanic crust into the mantle. Check this article by @ugrbalci and colleagues! 👉nature.com/articles/s43247-0…
Uğur Balcı@ugrbalci25 Sep 2024
Excited to share that the first paper from my PhD, "The origin and implications of primordial helium depletion in the Afar mantle plume", is now published in @CommsEarth by @NaturePortfolio. nature.com/articles/s43247-0…

It's over. The treatise on geophysics that 100s, maybe 1,000s, of us ordered for $0.10, is back to the normal price of $6,500

Have you done geoscience fieldwork while pregnant? Would you like to share your experience with others to help them decide if it's the right choice for them? I'm looking for personal experiences to publish in a joint article - DM me if you'd be interested in contributing
