Mantle dynamics and seismic anisotropy (2010, methodology): “when employed in global mantle flow models (Becker et al., 2006), providing some a posteriori justification for the geodynamic models.”
Global mantle flow and the development of seismic anisotropy: Differences between the oceanic and continental upper mantle (2007, background): “This is particularly true if the effects of dynamic recrystallization [Kaminski and Ribe, 2001; Kaminski et al., 2004] are taken into account along with finite strain [ Becker et al., 2006a ].”
Geodynamics of the Yellowstone hotspot and mantle plume: Seismic and GPS imaging, kinematics, and mantle flow (2009, methodology): “VM2 is a simpler model (Becker et al., 2006) also used in our mantle flow computations.”
On the effect of temperature and strain-rate dependent viscosity on global mantle flow, net rotation, and plate-driving forces (2006, unknown): “Since a comprehensive study on the role of rheology for mantle flow in the present-day plate-tectonic setting at higher resolution is still missing, I analyse global, temperature-dependent, powerlaw flow models, building on Becker et al. (2006b), Becker et al. (2006a).”
Savani: A variable resolution whole‐mantle model of anisotropic shear velocity variations based on multiple data sets (2014, background): “While such scaling laws may be petrologically meaningful in the upper mantle [Montagner and Anderson, 1989; Becker et al., 2006], little is known about equivalent correlations for the lower mantle, and choosing a single scaling factor in the entire mantle is probably inadequate [Simmons et al.,…”
Constraints on lithosphere net rotation and asthenospheric viscosity from global mantle flow models and seismic anisotropy (2010, methodology): “One such region may be in western North America, where asthenospheric shear is strongly oriented in an east‐west direction [Silver and Holt, 2002; Becker et al., 2006b] and matches both SKS observations (Figure 4a) and the Debayle et al. [2005] model (Figure 4b).”
