The role of diffusion-driven pure climb creep on the rheology of bridgmanite under lower mantle conditions

The viscosity of Earth’s lower mantle is poorly constrained due to the lack of knowledge on some fundamental variables that affect the deformation behaviour of its main mineral phases. This study focuses on bridgmanite, the main lower mantle constituent, and assesses its rheology by developing an ap...
