Thermal cracking and the deep hydration of oceanic lithosphere: A key to the generation of plate tectonics? (2007, background): “[6] The strength of oceanic lithosphere remains as a free parameter, which is varied more or less arbitrarily (with different degrees of sophistication) to create plate tectonic convection in numerical models [e.g., Gurnis et al., 2004; Stein et al., 2004].”
Venus surface thermal emission at 1 μm in VIRTIS imaging observations: Evidence for variation of crust and mantle differentiation conditions (2008, unknown): “Under cooler and wetter conditions the accordingly different temperature and rheological contrasts in the mantle and crust might have resulted in continuous plate tectonics [Solomatov and Moresi, 1996; Stein et al., 2004].”
A thermodynamically self-consistent damage equation for grain size evolution during dynamic recrystallization (2011, background): “provides a memory to the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, an ingredient that is missing to the models of convection with selfconsistent plates (i.e. Tackley 2000; Stein et al. 2004).”
On the effect of temperature and strain-rate dependent viscosity on global mantle flow, net rotation, and plate-driving forces (2006, unknown): “D Cartesian, models with non-Newtonian rheologies have recently focused on the excitation of plate-like flow (e.g. Tackley 2001a; Tackley 2001b; Stein et al. 2004).”
Urey ratio and the structure and evolution of Earth's mantle (2008, background): “…of selfsustaining weakening has been intensively studied particularly since the mid-1990s [e.g., Bercovici, 1996; Moresi and Solomatov, 1998; Trompert and Hansen, 1998; Tackley, 2000b; Richards et al., 2001; Auth et al., 2003; Gurnis et al., 2004; Stein et al., 2004; Bercovici and Ricard, 2005].”
Plate tectonics on super-Earths: Equally or more likely than on Earth (2011, methodology): “Stein et al. (2004) used a similar but more extensive approach to study, among others, the influence of temperature, stress and pressure dependence of the viscosity on plate-like behavior.”
Mechanisms for the generation of plate tectonics by two-phase grain-damage and pinning (2012, background): “…to be generated – i.e., an otherwise cold and strong lithosphere develops weak plate boundaries – when convective stresses exceed a certain yield stress (e.g., Trompert and Hansen, 1998; Tackley, 2000b; Richards et al., 2001; Stein et al., 2004; van Heck and Tackley, 2008; Foley and Becker, 2009).”
