• Formation of Thermochemical Heterogeneities by Core‐Mantle Interaction 

      Stein, ClaudiaORCIDiD; Hansen, Ulrich (Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2023-02-17)
      Earth's core‐mantle boundary (CMB) shows a complex structure with various seismic anomalies such as the large low shear‐wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) and ultra‐low velocity zones (ULVZs). As these structures are possibly ...
    • Layering by Double‐Diffusive Convection in the Subsurface Oceans of Europa and Enceladus 

      Wong, TeresaORCIDiD; Hansen, Ulrich; Wiesehöfer, Thomas; McKinnon, William B.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022-11-29)
      Subsurface oceans rich in salts may be prevalent in the icy worlds of the outer solar system. Surface observations have led to various hypotheses for the transport of materials from the seafloor to the surface by hydrothermal ...
