Plate tectonics on super-Earths: Equally or more likely than on Earth (2011, methodology): “O'Neill and Lenardic (2007) reached opposite conclusions, stating that stagnant lid convection is the more likely convective regime on super-Earths. The approach they used is similar to ours, using a numerical model to simulate convection on Earth and scale that to bigger planets. O'Neill and Lenard”
Mechanisms for the generation of plate tectonics by two-phase grain-damage and pinning (2012, background): “Of course the only readily available observation of terrestrial exo-planets is their mass, which has caused some debate as to whether size is more or less conducive to plate tectonics (Valencia et al., 2007; Valencia and O’Connell, 2009; O’Neill and Lenardic, 2007), although recent studies suggest t”
