Geologic history of Mars (2010, background): “They prefer an early internal origin, tied to global mantle convection (Wise et al., 1979; Zhong and Zuber, 2001).”
Degree-1 convection in the Martian mantle and the origin of the hemispheric dichotomy (2006, methodology): “This effect has been used to generate degree-1 convection in the Martian mantle [Zhong and Zuber, 2001].”
Thermal and crustal evolution of Mars (2002, background): “The total crustal thickness exceeds by a factor of 2 or more the upper bounds of 100–125 km placed on crustal thickness due to internal mineralogic and structural models [Kavner et al., 2001] and a viscoelastic model of degree 1 crustal relaxation [Zuber et al., 2000; Zhong and Zuber, 2001].”
Supercontinent cycles, true polar wander, and very long-wavelength mantle convection (2007, background): “Radially stratified mantle viscosity may greatly affect the planform of mantle convection (Zhong and Zuber, 2001; Jaupart and Parsons, 1985; Bunge et al., 1996; Tackley, 1996; Lenardic et al., 2005; Zhang and Yuen, 1995).”
Sequence and timing of conditions on early Mars (2011, background): “Alternatively, the hemispheric difference in observed crustal remanence may reflect a single-hemisphere dynamo (Stanley et al., 2008), perhaps resulting from degree-one convection (e.g., Zhong and Zuber, 2001).”
Crustal structure of Mars from gravity and topography (2004, background): “…peak in the northern lowlands crustal thickness distribution is most simply explained by an endogenic mechanism of formation, arguably an early episode of crustal spreading [ Sleep , 1994; Nimmo and Stevenson , 2000; Zuber , 2001] or a degree 1 style of mantle convection [ Zhong and Zuber , 2001].”
EARLY CRUSTAL EVOLUTION OF MARS 1 (2005, background): “Zhong & Zuber (2001) suggest that strongly depth-dependent viscosities could result in degree-1 convection that might explain the dichotomy.”
Possible formation of ancient crust on Mars through magma ocean processes (2005, background): “The likelihood of overturn occurring in a spherical harmonic degree-one pattern [ Zhong and Zuber, 2001 ] combined with the two compositions and volumes of crustal production raise the possibility of over-”
