Reconciling dynamic and seismic models of Earth's lower mantle: The dominant role of thermal heterogeneity (2012, methodology): “…testing in a fully dynamic model, which includes the recycling of oceanic plates and the evolution of geochemical tracers, as has previously been done for thermo-chemical ‘pile’ models (e.g. Tackley and Xie, 2002; Xie and Tackley, 2004a,b; Brandenburg and van Keken, 2007; Brandenburg et al., 2008).”
Dynamics and evolution of the deep mantle resulting from thermal, chemical, phase and melting effects (2012, background): “If that is the case, then the volume of oceanic crust produced corresponds to 53% of a mantle volume (Xie and Tackley, 2004b).”
