The geodynamic equation of state: What and how (2009, methodology): “The neglect of dilational strain in the continuity equation also violates conservation of mass; thus, the approximation may have significant conse- quences for modeling of the dynamics of the geoid [Hetenyi et al., 2007; Afonso et al., 2008].”
Radiogenic heat production variability of some common lithological groups and its significance to lithospheric thermal modeling (2010, background): “…result is a lithosphere/sublithospheric model that simultaneously fits all geophysical observables (gravity, geoid, elevation, surface heat flow, seismic velocities and composition) reducing the uncertainties associated with thermal modeling alone (e.g., Afonso et al., 2008; Fullea et al., 2009).”
3‐D multiobservable probabilistic inversion for the compositional and thermal structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle. I: a priori petrological information and geophysical observables (2013, methodology): “Interestingly, this value is comparable to the differences between predictions from standard theories of composites and from different mineral physics methods used to calculate the seismic properties of rocks [Ji, 2004; Schutt and Lesher, 2006; Afonso et al., 2008; Afonso and Schutt, 2012].”
