We're 1.2km above sea level here — why has the mantle come all the way up here (and higher)? Perhaps mostly because it's heavily serpentinised, which makes it much less dense, so it rises due to gravity as a diapir 😱 See paper by @_Aled https://t.co/LKqr…

Early Career Scientist Monday: A. Evans (UK) conducts field observations, density measurements, isostatic uplift and erosional modeling to constrain on the contribution of serpentinization to the uplift of the Troodos Mantle Sequence. Check it out here:…
