| Description | Working file entitled 'Convection notes and later', initially relating to the paper: McKenzie, D and J Roberts & N O Weiss, "Convection in the Earth's mantle: towards a numerical simulation", 'Journal of Fluid Mechanics', vol 62 (1974), pp465-538, but including later material.
Comprises: manuscript equations, notes, plots and graphs, 1970-[1985]; two letters from Jean Roberts, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, England, enclosing data sets and plots, and detailing her methods for information extraction*, [early 1970s & 1978]; bibliographic references and offprints of published academic papers by others on subduction, stress-strain laws and other related subjects; typescript copy of paper "Numerical studies of convection in the Earth's mantle" by Nigel Weiss, 13 July 1970; letters from fellow geophysicists and scientists, principally Dr Peter Davies, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Dundee, Scotland, on his thermal convection experiments, 24 April 1981, and Ulrich 'Uli' Christensen, Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie, Mainz, Germany, detailing his research and thoughts on the thermal evolution of the Earth, 14 February [1985], with copy reply from McKenzie, 1 March 1985. |
