Description

Learn More about the Book

This abundantly illustrated book provides a concise overview of our understanding of the entire mantle, its evolution since early differentiation and the consequences of superplumes for earth surface processes. The book's balanced authorship has produced a state-of-the-science report on the emerging concept of superplumes. This presents a new concept to explain catastrophic events on Earth through geologic time.

On the Back Cover

This book provides a concise overview of our understanding of the entire mantle, its evolution since early differentiation and the consequences of superplumes for earth surface processes. The balanced, international authorship of the 18 contributions has produced a state-of-the-science report on the emerging concept of superplumes and has documented the potential of superplumes to serve as a testable model for future studies.

The topic of superplume dynamics has been treated from different angles covering the sub-disciplines of geology, geochemistry, petrology as well as geophysics (including mineral physics, seismic tomography and mantle dynamics). For instance, it is shown how transport of heat via superplumes, huge stable pipes connecting the high-temperature core with the surface land mass, could have caused mass extinctions and drastic environmental change.

Audience Scientists, researchers and graduate students in geology, geochemistry and geophysics, planetary scientists, astrobiologists and environmental engineers.

Review Quotes

1. From the reviews: The advance in the Earth sciences exhibited in this book became possible owing to the application of up-to-date technologies, primarily of seismic tomography and petrology. the book is recommended as the up-to-date theoretical basis for any kind of geological research: tectonic, petrologic, geophysical, mineragenic, etc. The authors set a stress on equivocal character of their statements and outline top-priority problems of the Earth sciences to be solved, making the reviewed publication still more valuable. (V. E. Khain and N. I. Filatova, Geotectonics, Vol. 44 (1), 2010)
