A novel approach to quantify the structural distortions of U/Th snub-disphenoids and their role in zircon to reidite type phase transitions of uranothorite
Sudip Kumar Mondal, Pratik Kr. Das, Nibir Mandal +1
Our density functional study reveals a peculiar relation between the normalized Th content i.e. Th/(U+Th) and the hydrostatic pressure enforcing zircon to reidite type transition i…

Pulsating dynamics of thermal plumes and its implications for multiple eruption events in the Deccan Traps, India
Urmi Dutta, Nibir Mandal
In Earth's mantle gravity instabilities initiated by density inversion lead to upwelling of hot materials as plumes. This study focuses upon the problem of their ascent dynamics to…
