The authors’ motivation for writing a scientific text book is often around the academic rigour of setting out the science of their specialist area for the benefit of novices entering their scientific specialty. The motivation of the publisher is more complex since selling copies is a pre-requisite to a successful book. Therefore the preface of such books often envisages a wide readership of int...

Boundary Layer Theory and Subduction

Numerical models of thermally activated convective flow in Earth's mantle do not resemble active plate tectonics because of their inability to model successfully the process of subduction, other than by the inclusion of artificial weak zones. Here we show, using a boundary layer argument, how the "rigid lid" style of convection favored by thermoviscous fluids leads to lithospheric stresses whic...
