• Urey ratio and the structure and evolution of Earth's mantle (2008, background): “The very early Earth is likely to have been governed by a different mode of mantle convection [e.g., Sleep, 2000; Stevenson, 2003].”
• Energetics of mantle convection and the fate of fossil heat (2003, unknown): “Though the importance of compositional buoyancy for shutting down plate tectonics has been suggested [e.g., Davies, 1992; Sleep, 2000], it remains speculative because the very origin of plate tectonics itself is still highly controversial [e.g., Bercovici et al., 2000].”
• Thermal evolution of the core with a high thermal conductivity (2014, unknown): “Abe, 1997; Sleep, 2000).”
• GEODYNAMICS AND RATE OF VOLCANISM ON MASSIVE EARTH-LIKE PLANETS (2008, background): “However, it is not clear that subduction initiation is possible if plate is positively buoyant everywhere, as seems likely for Early Earth (Davies 1992; Sleep 2000).”
• Subduction initiation: spontaneous and induced (2004, background): “Thanks to Mike Gurnis, Jim Hawkins and Norm Sleep for thoughtful reviews, and to Trey Hargrove for editorial suggestions.”
• Plate tectonics on the early Earth: Limitations imposed by strength and buoyancy of subducted lithosphere (2008, background): “Only very old plates would eventually become instable enough to drive the subduction process, but these old plates cannot cool the Earth suciently, especially with the higher level of radioactive heating in the past (Turcotte and Schubert, 2002; Sleep, 2000 ).”
• The generation of plate tectonics from mantle convection (2003, background): “At what stage in the evolution of the Earth did plate-like motion begin to occur [81]? In particular, did the likely higher temperatures, and extra melting and production of buoyant crust inhibit motion of the surface [82,83]? Did an ancient subducton zone form in hot, soft lithosphere and induce a ”
• Thermal and crustal evolution of Mars (2002, background): “The early thermal state of terrestrial planets is complex and dependent on processes such as accretion, core formation, large impacts, and magma oceans [e.g., Sleep, 2000].”
