Fig. 1: Background mantle temperatures and melt fractions (i.e., “degree-of-melting”), prior to unloading.

From: Deglaciation-enhanced mantle CO2 fluxes at Yellowstone imply positive climate feedback

Fig. 1

Temperatures beneath (a) Iceland and (b) Yellowstone are plotted in red-blue. The thick black line is the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), at T = 1300 °C. The green parabola represents the ice volume at its maximum (10-fold vertical exaggeration). Black arrows indicate imposed plate motions. Melt fractions in blue-green plotted for (c) Iceland and (d) Yellowstone.
