The PI will continue to investigate processes involving heat               and mass transfer concentrating on hotspots and on mid-oceanic                  ridge axes.  He will investigate the mid-plate swells associated                with the Hawaiian, the Crozet, and the Cape Verde hotspots, and                 use the shape of the swells to determine the total flux from the                underlying plumes and geoid anomalies to find the hot                           asthenosphere which transfers heat laterally from the plume.  He                will investigate the kinematics of the Iceland hotspot which are                complicated by the spreading ridge, and search for an explanation               of hotspots on ridge-axes that are too small to be associated with              plumes.  He will investigate the source region of plumes                        (presumable the base of the mantle), and consider the chemically                more dense region at the base of the mantle including its                       entrainment in upwellings and its effects on the thermal history                of the earth.
