Geophysics and Python enthusiast 🌏🐍 Postdoc in the EarthByte group at Sydney Uni fusing tectonic reconstructions with mantle geochemistry to explain 🌋
In time for #EarthScienceWeek our paper published in Nature Communications today explores how mantle plumes can act as an anchor ⚓️ and impede spreading ridge migration.
BUT if the plume weakens, it can de-anchor from the ridge and facilitate rapid ridge migration.
