Constraints on the composition and petrogenesis of the Martian crust (2003, background): “At present, Mars is a one-plate planet that convectively translates radioactive heat in the mantle through a stagnant lid [Schubert et al., 2001].”
Fractionation of the noble metals by physical processes (2006, background): “By comparison, magma ascent in partially molten mantle matrix is orders of magnitude faster (Elliott and Spiegelman 1993; Turner et al. 1996; Schubert et al. 2001), perhaps even as fast as meters per day (Rubin et al.”
Impact‐induced hydrothermal activity on early Mars (2005, background): “[22] The temperature at the base of the lithosphere is estimated at 1300 C [Schubert et al., 2001], which gives a lithospheric thickness of 100 km with a 13 C/km temperature gradient.”
Constraints on thermochemical convection of the mantle from plume heat flux, plume excess temperature, and upper mantle temperature (2006, background): “Thermal evolution models often suggest a mantle secular cooling rate _T sec of 70–80 K/Ga [Davies, 1999; Schubert et al., 2001].”
Revised CRISM spectral parameters and summary products based on the currently detected mineral diversity on Mars (2014, result): “This would be inconsistent with the more readily accepted view that Mars is a single-plate planet, where a stagnant lid model [Schubert et al., 2001] best explains volcanic production rates [e.g., Breuer, 2003], although other workers have suggested incipient or abortive plate tectonics on early…”
Temperatures, Heat, and Energy in the Mantle of the Earth (2007, neutral): “such as the Rayleigh number (Schubert et al., 2001).”
Sulfur's impact on core evolution and magnetic field generation on Ganymede (2005, background): “…relationship between the vigor of convection (described by the Rayleigh number, Ra, the ratio of buoyancy to viscous forces) and the efficiency of convective heat transfer (defined by the Nusselt number, Nu, the ratio of the total heat flux to the conducted heat flux) [e.g., Schubert et al., 2001].”
Magma Dynamics with the Enthalpy Method: Benchmark Solutions and Magmatic Focusing at Mid-ocean Ridges (2008, background): “Much previous work has focused on solid-state, creeping convection of the whole mantle (e.g. Schubert et al., 2001) and the origins of plate tectonics (e.g. Tackley, 2000).”
HOW THE GEYSERS, TIDAL STRESSES, AND THERMAL EMISSION ACROSS THE SOUTH POLAR TERRAIN OF ENCELADUS ARE RELATED (2014, background): “An alternative to Equation (4) incorporating viscosity (Schubert et al. 2001, Equation (4.5.46)) results in a velocity roughly one order of magnitude faster, so our minimum crack width estimate is conservative.”
The Magnetic Field of Planet Earth (2010, background): “27, reveal long-term changes in the field behavior over periods of time commensurate with mantle convection timescales (Schubert et al. 2001).”
Subsurface oceans and deep interiors of medium-sized outer planet satellites and large trans-neptunian objects (2006, methodology): “3 (Schubert et al., 2001).”
Integrated geophysical‐petrological modeling of the lithosphere and sublithospheric upper mantle: Methodology and applications (2008, background): “…as small-scale convection and/or small thermo-chemical plumes, its exothermic nature and associated density change (0.8– 1.0% [Afonso et al., 2007]) could favor the thermal erosion of the plate through buoyancy enhancement [cf. Schubert et al., 2001; Zlotnik et al., submitted manuscript, 2008].”
The nature of coarse-grained crystalline hematite and its implications for the early environment of Mars (2003, methodology): “We now examine the ology and topography of Aram Chaos in some detail.”
