Influence of composition-dependent thermal conductivity on the long-term evolution of primordial reservoirs in Earth's lower mantle

Abstract The influence of composition-dependent thermal conductivity and heterogeneous internal heating of primordial dense material on the long-term evolution of primordial reservoirs in the lower mantle of the Earth is investigated utilizing thermochemical mantle convection simulations in a 2-D sp...
