Journal ArticleDOI
Edge-driven convection
Scott D. King,Don L. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the boundary conditions and aspect ratio on the small-scale flow driven by a discontinuity in the thickness of the lithosphere has been investigated in an isothermal mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI
African hot spot volcanism: small-scale convection in the upper mantle beneath cratons.
Scott D. King,Jeroen Ritsema +1 more
TL;DR: Numerical models demonstrate that small-scale convection develops in the upper mantle beneath the transition of thick cratonic lithosphere and thin oceanic lithosphere, which explains the location and geochemical characteristics of intraplate volcanos on the African and South American plates.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative mechanism of flood basalt formation
Scott D. King,Don L. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the boundary between thick and thin lithosphere focuses both the strain in the lithosphere and the upwelling convection, and they considered a series of calculations with a step function change in thickness of the boundary layer and an externally imposed pull-apart.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: For example, the first ten months of the InSight lander on Mars revealed a planet that is seismically active and provided information about the interior, surface and atmospheric workings of Mars as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of methods for the modeling of thermochemical convection
P. E. van Keken,Scott D. King,Harro Schmeling,U. R. Christensen,D. Neumeister,Marie-Pierre Doin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared several methods of studying thermochemical convection in a Boussinesq fluid at infinite Prandtl number and found intrinsic differences between the methods and possibly chaotic mixing effects may be the cause of the lack of detailed agreement.
