Heat Flux Distribution of Antarctica Unveiled (2017, methodology): “The initial values for the thermal parameters were based on typical values measured in nature (Sandiford & McLaren, 2002).”
How Does the Continental Crust Get Really Hot (2011, background): “…elements (generally assumed to be greater in the upper crust due to its more felsic composition) and how this distribution is modifi ed during collision, including the addition of radioactive material by thickening and its loss by erosion (Jamieson et al. 1998; Sandiford and McLaren 2002).”
Radiogenic heat production, thermal regime and evolution of continental crust (2013, background): “Vertical differentiation and redistribution of the heat producing elements can follow partial melting in the lower crust (e.g. Perry et al., 2006a), but can also be the result of tectonic redistribution as proposed by Sandiford and McLaren (2002).”
The onset and early evolution of life (2006, background): “…to have been high, but there was little if any atmospheric weathering and runoff because, though there probably were continents, radioactive heating made them plastic and they rarely emerged above the surface of the relatively deep ocean (Sandiford and McLaren, 2002; Russell and Arndt, 2005).”
