- Habitability from Tidally Induced Tectonics (2018, background): “With some suggesting it is possible (Valencia et al. 2007; van Heck & Tackley 2011; Foley et al. 2012; Korenaga 2010; Tackley et al. 2013), while others consider it to be unlikely (O’Neill et al. 2007; Stamenković et al. 2012; Noack & Breuer 2014).”
- Mechanisms for the generation of plate tectonics by two-phase grain-damage and pinning (2012, background): “…et al., 2007; Valencia and O’Connell, 2009; O’Neill and Lenardic, 2007), although recent studies suggest that other factors such as surface conditions are equally or more important (Korenaga, 2010; van Heck and Tackley, 2011; Foley et al., 2012), which corresponds to the Earth-Venus comparison.”
- How to Characterize Habitable Worlds and Signs of Life (2017, background): “The mass of a planet influences its capability for tectonics in different ways in different models, making plate tectonics more likely due to increased plate velocities (Valencia et al. 2007, Valencia & O’Connell 2009, Van Heck & Tackley 2011) or less likely due to increased fault strength under hig”
- Mantle dynamics in super-Earths: Post-perovskite rheology and self-regulation of viscosity (2012, background): “While one study finds the opposite conclusions (O'Neill and Lenardic, 2007), it is 62 argued in (van Heck and Tackley, 2011) that this might be a consequence of working in 63 nondimensional space and not scaling all nondimensional parameters in a consistent manner 64 with planet size.”
