Book Chapter
Gröcke, D. (2009). “Greenhouse” (Warm) Climates. In Encyclopedia of Paleoclimatology and Ancient Environments (397-405). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-4411-3_101

Definition and origins of the term “greenhouse” The term “greenhouse” is defined, as follows, from a climatological standpoint in the online ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ (OED), based on the textbook by Trewartha (1937, p. 25): “The phenomenon whereby...

Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection (2009)
Journal Article
van Hunen, J., & Cadek, O. (2009). Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 284(3-4), 622-629. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.05.034

Amplitudes of azimuthal seismic anisotropy below the Pacific plate are observed to decrease with lithospheric age, whereas an increase is expected due to ongoing shearing between the plate and the underlying mantle. We illustrate that the convective... Read More about Reduced oceanic seismic anisotropy by small-scale convection.

Size distributions of fine silicate and other particles in Masaya's volcanic plume. (2009)
Journal Article
Martin, R., Mather, T., Pyle, D., Power, M., Tsanev, V., Oppenheimer, C., …Ward, E. (2009). Size distributions of fine silicate and other particles in Masaya's volcanic plume. Journal of Geophysical Research, 114, https://doi.org/10.1029/2008jd011211

Direct-sampling and remote-sensing measurements were made at the crater rim of Masaya volcano (Nicaragua) to sample the aerosol plume emanating from the active vent. We report the first measurements of the size distribution of fine silicate particles... Read More about Size distributions of fine silicate and other particles in Masaya's volcanic plume..

Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics (2009)
Journal Article
Halla, J., van Hunen, J., Heilimo, E., & Holtta, P. (2009). Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics. Precambrian Research, 174, 155-162

This paper discusses early Neoarchean (2.8–2.7 Ga) plate tectonics by integrating knowledge from new geochemical observations and numerical models. Based on a geochemical dataset of 295 granitoid samples from the Karelian and Kola cratons of the Fenn... Read More about Geochemical and numerical constraints on Neoarchean plate tectonics.

Control of seafloor aging on the migration of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana trench (2009)
Journal Article
Faccenna, C., Di Giuseppe, E., Funiciello, F., Lallemand, S., & van Hunen, J. (2009). Control of seafloor aging on the migration of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana trench. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 288(3-4), 386-398. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.09.042

Recent global kinematic studies reveal that most of the trenches roll back but a significant number of them advance toward the upper plate. Those advancing trenches are mostly located in the Western Pacific and correspond to the subduction of very ol...
