Simulating the thermochemical magmatic and tectonic evolution of Venus's mantle and lithosphere: Two-dimensional models (2012, background): “…loss mechanism and can strongly buffer the planetary temperature, as was predicted in parameterized models [Davies, 1990] and observed at early times in numerical models of Earth [Nakagawa and Tackley, 2012; Xie and Tackley, 2004a] andMars [Keller and Tackley, 2009; Ogawa and Yanagisawa, 2011].”
Melting and mixing states of the Earth’s mantle after the Moon-forming impact (2015, background): “The issue of subsequent mixing (>∼ 1000 yrs) is not a simple problem but is no different from the usual assessment of mantle convection mixing (e.g., Tackley, 2012).”
Reconciling dynamic and seismic models of Earth's lower mantle: The dominant role of thermal heterogeneity (2012, background): “However, thermal conductivity increases as a function of depth within Earth’s mantle, most likely approaching values of 5.9–10 W m 1 K 1 in the deep mantle (see Hofmeister, 2008; de Koker, 2010; Manthilake et al., 2011; Tackley, 2011; Hunt et al., 2012, for detailed discussion).”
