Jun Korenaga coauthored a comparison of the Earth's thermal evolution with melting conditions inferred from ancient basalts. Reconstructing primary magmas provides estimates of mantle potential temperature that can be compared with heat-budget and mantle convection models.[ref]
Thermal history of the Earth and its petrological expression by Claude Herzberg and others. Abstract and Methods: petrological temperatures and thermal evolution
The comparison separates evidence for hotter ambient mantle from exceptionally hot plume-derived melts.

Earth and Planetary Science Letters 292, 79–88. Models primary liquids and ambient mantle potential temperature; estimates thick ancient oceanic crust and distinguishes non-arc basalts from komatiites.
