The Earth's Heterogeneous Mantle A Geophysical, Geodynamical, and Geochemical Perspective /
This book highlights and discusses recent developments that have contributed to an improved understanding of observed mantle heterogeneities and their relation to the thermo-chemical state of Earth's mantle, which ultimately holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the evolution of our planet....
