Importance of initial buoyancy field on evolution of mantle thermal structure: Implications of surface boundary conditions
Although there has been significant progress in the seismic imaging of mantle heterogeneity, the outstanding issue that remains to be resolved is the unknown distribution of mantle temperature anomalies in the distant geological past that give rise to the present-day anomalies inferred by global tom...
