A new paper with a new method from the ESP team

17.02.2020 | Forskning

ESP's Eric Brown, Kenni Petersen (alumnus), and Charles Lesher have published new work on a new method to invert mantle temperature/composition from basalts. Their method combines Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling with a forward melting model. Specifically the new inverse mantle melting model constrains mantle potential temperature,…
