The time-averaged magnetic field in numerical dynamos with non-uniform boundary heat flow (2002, background): “…core is relatively short, of the order of 104 yr (Moffatt 1978), whereas the structure of the solid mantle changes on timescales of order 108 yr (Schubert et al. 2001), the long-term departures from GAD are generally thought to indicate some control of the geodynamo by lateral heterogeneity in…”
Tidally heated convection: Constraints on Europa's ice shell thickness (2003, background): “However, heat transfer should not significantly differ [Travis et al., 1990; Schubert et al., 2001b], so that the equilibrium thickness is probably similar in 3D experiments.”

Oceans in the icy Galilean satellites of Jupiter (2002, methodology): “For infinite Prandtl number convection, as is applicable to solid state convection in ice and rock shells of planets and satellites, and for strongly temperature dependent viscosity and convection in the stagnant lid regime, it is believed that convection in the well-mixed sublayer below the lid can”
A geodynamic model of plumes from the margins of Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (2012, background): “For cp = 1250 J/kg/K [Schubert et al., 2001] and r = 5500 kg/m3 this corresponds to a thermal conductivity of 6.5 W/m/K, somewhat above the lower end of the range of thermal conductivity estimates for the lowermost mantle, which vary by a factor of ∼5 [e.g., de Koker, 2010; Goncharov et al., 2009, 2”
The nature of coarse-grained crystalline hematite and its implications for the early environment of Mars (2003, background): “At about 4.0 Ga, the heat flux from Earth was 2–4 times greater, so the volcanic flux wo be greater, roughly scaling with the square of the heat (Schubert et al., 2001).”
GEODYNAMICS AND RATE OF VOLCANISM ON MASSIVE EARTH-LIKE PLANETS (2008, background): “A very simple model for mantle thermal evolution with temperature-dependent viscosity in plate tectonic mode is (Schubert et al. 2001): - ∂T ∂t = H c − k1(Tm − Ts)(1+β)exp (−βA0 Tm , ) (6) where k1 = Ak cdMmantle ( αgd3 κν0Racr ) (7) and c is the specific heat capacity of mantle rock.”
Urey ratio and the structure and evolution of Earth's mantle (2008, background): “…were not particularly successful, and at the same time, the whole mantle models with a high Urey ratio somehow gained the status of a standard model [Schubert et al., 2001], being applied to a wide range of problems such as continental growth [e.g., Schubert and Reymer, 1985; Franck and Bounama,…”
The effect of rheological parameters on plate behaviour in a self-consistent model of mantle convection (2004, background): “RD specifies the strength of the exponentially increasing viscosity with pressure. ble as pressure dependence reduces the effect of temperature dependence on the viscosity (Schubert et al., 2001).”

Archean Geodynamics and the Thermal Evolution of Earth (2013, background): “The surface layer becomes too rigid to deform (surface viscosity is greater than interior viscosity by >15 orders of magnitude), and only the hot interior convects beneath a single plate covering the entire surface; this is the situation believed to be in action for other terrestrial planets like Ve”
