Initiation of Plate Tectonics from Post-Magma Ocean Thermo-Chemical Convection
Bradford J. Foley, David Bercovici, Linda T. Elkins-Tanton
Leading theories for the presence of plate tectonics on Earth typically appeal to the role of present day conditions in promoting rheological weakening of the lithosphere. However,…

Scaling Laws for Convection with Temperature-dependent Viscosity and Grain-damage
Bradford J. Foley, David Bercovici
Numerical experiments of convection with grain-damage are used to develop scaling laws for convective heat flow, mantle velocity, and plate velocity across the stagnant lid and pla…
