Journey Towards the Centre of the Earth: The Secret Behind the Long-Term Survival of Large Low-Velocity Provinces Geophysicists have long been intrigued by the enigmatic “blobs” residing deep within Earth’s lower mantle — the Large Low-Velocity Provinces (LLVPs). Ever wondered what keeps these gigantic thermochem...

This week's blog takes us on a journey to the centre of the Earth - the post on the formation of Large Low-Velocity Provinces written by Prachi Kar is out now!

Phase transitions control plume layering during Earth’s secular cooling Earth’s structure and dynamics have evolved quite a lot since its formation, and so has mantle dynamics and convection patterns changed along with it. It turns out that phase transition in certain man...

🌍 Earth’s mantle flow has changed over time.
Mineral phase shifts can stall plumes and reshape convection.
