Tectonic and mantle convection regimes
Conceptual illustration of different styles (regimes) of tectonics and mantle convection, which are relevant for rocky planets.
Atmospheric CO2 concentration art
No time to waste: Globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere for the time period 803’719 BCE – today.
Planetary spheres art
100-km depth contours outline the basic radial compositional structure of the planetary interiors of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
Surface topography cross-section art
The global bedrock relief model of the Earth’s surface along the equator integrating land topography and ocean bathymetry reveals the vastness of the ocean depths.
Planetary spheres
The interiors of rocky planets and the Moon represented by 100-km depth contours outlining the basic compositional structure.
Earth’s mantle heterogeneity theories
Conceptual model sketches for proposed compositional structures of Earth's mantle, including "Marble cake", "Thermo-chemical piles", and "Mid-mantle blobs" theories.
Crops and cover crops collection
A schematic collection of common crops and cover crops by Schroeder (2022).
Subduction zone initiation reconstructions
Subduction zone initiation (SZI) reconstructions for selected events since around 100 Ma. The reconstructed events are based on the whole Earth Sciences community point-of-view of the SZI database.
