Distribution of Bouguer gravity anomaly and crust and upper mantle in the Antarctic region
Antarctic Record, 1986 Bouguer gravity anomaly south of 45°S was derived from the newly provided data of free-air anomaly and topography, and its implications in the crust and upper mantle structure of the land and its marginal ocean area were discussed from the viewpoint of ...

Studies of oceanic tectonics based on GEOS-3 satellite altimetry [PDF]
Using statistical analysis, geoidal admittance (the relationship between the ocean geoid and seafloor topography) obtained from GEOS-3 altimetry was compared to various model admittances.

Penrose conference on lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1975 A Penrose Conference on The Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary will be convened by Thomas H. Jordan and William S. Fyfe at Vail, Colorado, in mid‐November 1975. The tentative dates are November 16 to 21.Many definitions of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary exist on the basis of various geodetic, seismological, penological, and rheological data or ...

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]
, 2006 Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

Mechanisms of crustal deformation in the western US [PDF]
The deformation processes in the western United States were studied, considering both deterministic models and random or statistical models. The role of the intracrustal delamination and mechanisms of crustal thinning were also examined.

The Indian Plate subducting below the Tibet Plateau is tearing apart
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe first-order configuration of the Himalayan orogen is defined by northward motion of the Indian plate, whether directly underplating Tibetan crust or subducting beneath a mantle wedge.

Satellite magnetic modeling of north African hot spots [PDF]
The primary objectives of the MAGSAT mission was to measure the intensity and direction of magnetization of the Earth's crust. A significant effort was directed to the large crustal anomalies first delineated by the POGO mission.
