Crustal Heterogeneity of Antarctica Signals Spatially Variable Radiogenic Heat Production by L. Li, A. R. A. Aitken

“…To define this at continent‐scale we use 3D gravity inversion constrained by seismic Moho estimates to identify variations in crustal composition and geometry beneath thick ice. Geochemically‐defined empirical relationships between density and heat production capture the global average trend and its variability, and allow to estimate from upper‐crust density spatial variations in radiogenic heat production. …”
