Mantle Convection in the Earth and Planets 2 Volume Paperback Set by Gerald Schubert, Donald L. Turcotte and Peter Olson is an English-language textbook that focuses on mantle convection within the Earth and other planets. This reference work offers a current and integrated approach to the geophysics of Earth and planetary bodies.
The book covers in depth the mechanisms of mantle convection and its impact on the geological processes of the Earth and its inner planets. The material is suitable for graduate courses and researchers in geophysics, geology, and related disciplines.
Features of this textbook:
- In-depth analysis of mantle flows within the Earth and planets
- Accessible to both master's students and professionals in the earth and planetary sciences
- Illustrations, references, and discussion questions that strengthen theory and application
- Supports studies in geophysics, geology, geomorphology, and physics with a focus on mantle convection
This work provides a valuable overview of the current state of knowledge about Earth and planets, with an emphasis on mantle convection as a crucial process within the earth and planetary sciences.
