The Earth's Heterogeneous Mantle : A Geophysical, Geodynamical, and Geochemical Perspective Paperback / softback
Edited by Amir Khan, Frederic Deschamps
Part of the Springer Geophysics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book highlights and discusses recent developments that have contributed to an improved understanding of observed mantle heterogeneities and their relation to the thermo-chemical state of Earth's mantle, which ultimately holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the evolution of our planet.
This series of topical reviews and original contributions address 4 themes.
Theme 1 covers topics in geophysics, including global and regional seismic tomography, electrical conductivity and seismic imaging of mantle discontinuities and heterogeneities in the upper mantle, transition zone and lower mantle.
Theme 2 addresses geochemical views of the mantle including lithospheric evolution from analysis of mantle xenoliths, composition of the deep Earth and the effect of water on subduction-zone processes.
Theme 3 discusses geodynamical perspectives on the global thermo-chemical structure of the deep mantle.
Theme 4 covers application of mineral physics data and phase equilibrium computations to infer the regional-scale thermo-chemical structure of the mantle.
