Computing
Different computation paradigms including sequential and parallel programming each with the corresponding discretised domain.
Conceptual illustrations in science are “freehand” drawings to portray certain concepts qualitatively. Instead of directly representing data, they are visualising the current knowledge.
Numerical discretisation (space & time)
One-dimensional discretisation in space and time based on discrete temporal and spatial steps.
Sea-level change mechanisms (sketch)
Sketches outlining the solid-Earth induced sea-level change mechanisms over different time periods, covering elastic, viscous, and mantle convection time scales.
Global-scale mantle flow (sketch)
A sketch outlining the link between the viscous convection within the Earth’s mantle and tectonic surface plate motions.
Seismic wave travel paths
A schematic highlighting the travel paths of seismic waves through the Earth’s interior.
Subduction zone initiation types
Illustration of the three types of subduction zone initiation (SZI) events, namely Newly destructive, Episodic subduction, and Polarity reversal.
Subduction initiation forcing
The illustration depicts two endmember states in subduction zone initiation: vertically-forced and horizontally-forced subduction initiation.
Earth interior model
Simplified model of the Earth’s interior and its global dynamics featuring a solid inner and a fluid outer core, a viscous partially molten but not fluid mantle, and characteristic surface topography.
Planetary interior
Comparison of suggested mantle convection in the Earth (mobile-lid mode) and Venus (inefficient short slab mode).
