Solid-state mantle convection coupled with a crystallising basal magma ocean

Fractional crystallisation of a basal magma ocean (BMO) has been proposed to explain the formation of large scale compositional variations in the mantle and the persistence of partially molten patches in the lowermost mantle. We present a complete set of equations for the thermal and compositional e...
