Outputs from 3D spherical mantle convection simulations testing the influence of convection on mantle differentiation and preservation of primitive undegassed material

The dataset contains the outputs from 3D spherical incompressible mantle convection models. Included outputs, such as visualisation files (to use with open-source software ParaView), allow to analyse the links between the thermal evolution of the mantle and the preservation of geochemical heterogeneity. The data is linked to the manuscript titled "Geodynamic Controls on Mantle Differentiation and Preservation of Long-Term Geochemical Heterogeneity: Focus on the Primitive Undegassed Mantle”. The dataset gathers outputs to produce the figures of the article and post-processing scripts. It also includes the necessary input files and executables needed to reproduce the geodynamic simulations. More details in the README.md file.

Statement: The data was produced using the mantle convection code TERRA, at ARCHER2, the UK national high performance supercomputer. Because the TERRA code predates open-source licensing, we do not have the right to share all parts of the code. Therefore, we provide instructions and necessary files to assure reproducibility of simulations.
