Spatiotemporal Variations in Surface Heat Loss Imply a Heterogeneous Mantle Cooling History
Abstract Earth's heat budget is strongly influenced by spatial and temporal variations in surface heat flow caused by plate tectonic cycles. Here, we use a novel set of paleo‐seafloor age grids extending back to the mid‐Paleozoic to infer spatiotemporal variations in surface heat loss. The time...
