| Description | Working files entitled [symbols for l/case gamma=gamma (T) temperature] and 'Surface deformation, gravity field & Z[eta] Perturbed Pressure' relating to the papers McKenzie, D, "Surface deformation, gravity anomalies and convection", 'Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society', vol 48 (1977), pp211-238 and McKenzie, D & N O Weiss, "The thermal history of the Earth", 'Geological Association of Canada Special Paper', no.20 (1980), pp575-590.
Comprises: Copies/offprints of published academic papers by others on viscosity and convection, 1973-1978; manuscript plots and graphs, computer generated contour plot diagrams demonstrating vorticity, viscosity and stream function, [?1977]-1978; manuscript equations and notes; computer and manuscript data sets [the former mostly be used as scrap paper], [n d]. |
| Administrative History | The cover of the first file was annotated by McKenzie in 2014, when preparing his material for archiving, "Never properly published, some in 65 (& also 50) but surface deformation and gravity not correct." The numbers are references to McKenzie's published papers as given in his bibliography. |
