DescriptionWorking files concerning McKenzie's research and work on convection, comprising:

Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) grant applications, proposals and reports for the joint project "Numerical Investigation of Three-dimensional Convection", led by Nigel Weiss, McKenzie and D R Moore, then latterly the project "Three Dimensional Colour Graphics Solutions to Multi Disciplinary Problems in Applied Mathematics", led by H E Huppert and McKenzie, 1982-1991;

FORTRAN computer dataset, 1977;

Folder marked 'Compressible Law Shear Strees Langrangian Picture', containing manuscript notes and equations mainly by McKenzie, mostly undated but one sheet marked 'algebra not checked 25/7/72'; two letters from Gary T Jarvis, Department of Physics, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, forwarding data and calculations relating to their joint papers [Jarvis, G T & D McKenzie, "Convection in a compressible fluid with infinite Prandtl number", 'Journal of Fluid Mechanics', vol 96 (1980), pp515-583. and Jarvis, G T & D McKenzie, "Sedimentary basin formation with finite extension rates", 'Earth and Planetary Science Letters', vol 48 (1980), pp42-52], including a chapter probably from Jarvis' PhD dissertation 'Convection in infinite Prandtl number compressible fluids' [Department of Geodesy and Geophysics, University of Cambridge, 1979], 25 June 1979 & 5 July 1979;

Folder entitled 'Convection, notes for published papers, mostly for speculations on the thermal and tectonic history', containing miscellaneous manuscript notes, equations, plots/graphs, mostly by McKenzie but including one set of notes by Nigel Weiss, [early 1970s], advertisement for the published conference proceedings for the Royal Society Discussion Meeting 'The Evolution of the Precambrian Crust', held March 1972, bibliographic notes and cutting of William Kaula's paper "Earth's Gravity Field: relation to global tectonics", 'Science', vol 169 (1970), pp982-984, Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grant report by Nigel Weiss on the result of his and McKenzie's project "Numerical Studies of Convection in the Earth's Mantle", 1971.
