Exploring and Summarizing Ensemble Solutions to Geophysical Inverse Problems Open
Posterior sampling algorithms have been applied to many geophysical inverse problems, including electrical resistivity sounding, seismic tomography, and gravity and geodetic inversions. Unlike optimization‐based approaches that yield a sin…

Ocean underpressure, subsurface boiling, and the upward transport of water on icy moons Open
Variations in orbital parameters can change the total amount and spatial distribution of tidal heating within icy satellites, leading to changes in ice shell thickness. These thickness changes are accommodated by the melting and solidifica…

Deep mantle plumes feeding periodic alignments of asthenospheric fingers beneath the central and southern Atlantic Ocean Open
High-resolution full waveform seismic tomography of the Earth’s mantle beneath the south and central Atlantic Ocean brings into focus a series of asthenospheric low shear velocity channels, or “fingers” on both sides of the southern and ce…

Cryptic degassing and protracted greenhouse climates after flood basalt events Open
Large igneous provinces erupt highly reactive, predominantly basaltic lavas onto Earth’s surface, which should boost the weathering flux leading to long-term CO 2 drawdown and cooling following cessation of volcanism. However, throughout E…

Bubble ascent and rupture in mud volcanoes Open
Large gas bubbles can reach the surface of pools of mud and lava where they burst, often through the formation and expansion of circular holes. Bursting bubbles release volatiles and generate spatter, and hence play a key role in volcanic …

A Synoptic View of Mantle Plume Shapes Enabled by Virtual Reality Open
The shapes of mantle plumes are sensitive to mantle viscosity, density structure, and flow patterns. Increasingly, global tomographic models reveal broad plume conduits in the lower mantle and highly tilting conduits in the mid and upper m…

Cooling Crusts Create Concomitant Cryovolcanic Cracks Open
The orbital and internal evolution of the ice‐covered ocean worlds orbiting Jupiter and Saturn are coupled, leading to time‐varying thicknesses of their ice shells. As the ice thickens and thins, thermal stresses in the ice shell and press…

Shallow Lower Mantle Viscosity Modulates the Pattern of Mantle Structure Open
Tomographic images of Earth's mantle reveal that structure, even at the largest spatial scales, does not remain correlated across all mantle depths. This is a surprising result given the relationship between a dominantly spherical harmonic…

Effects of Heat‐Producing Elements on the Stability of Deep Mantle Thermochemical Piles Open
Geochemical observations of ocean island and mid‐ocean ridge basalts suggest that abundances of heat‐producing elements (HPEs: U, Th, and K) vary within the mantle. Combined with bulk silicate Earth models and constraints on the Earth's he…

Primitive Helium Is Sourced From Seismically Slow Regions in the Lowermost Mantle Open
A major goal in Earth Science has been to understand how geochemical characteristics of lavas at the Earth's surface relate to the location and formation history of specific regions in the Earth's interior. For example, some of the stronge…

Quantifying melt production and degassing rate at mid‐ocean ridges from global mantle convection models with plate motion history Open
The Earth's surface volcanism exerts first‐order controls on the composition of the atmosphere and the climate. On Earth, the majority of surface volcanism occurs at mid‐ocean ridges. In this study, based on the dependence of melt fraction…
