The birth of a volcano: A nonlinear convective model for rock melting at the asthenosphere—Lithosphere boundary

Applications in Engineering Science
The investigation of the physical processes determining the melting of the lithospheric rocks is of crucial importance for understanding the volcanic dynamics and its related consequences.

Relationships Between Upper-Plate Structure, Mantle Wedge Melting, and Fore-Arc Sliver Transport in the Nicaraguan Subduction Zone

The Seismic Record
This study images the base of the upper-plate lithosphere in the Nicaraguan subduction zone using common conversion point stacking of Sp phases and explores the relationships between deep upper-plate structure, subduction zone melting processes, and the ...

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.

Heat flow increase following the rise of mantle isotherms and crustal thinning [PDF]

Heat flow measurements in the western United States define a zone of high heat flow which coincides with the Basin and Range Province where extension has taken place recently. In this region, the average reduced heat flow is approx 30 mW sq.

Strain buildup and release, earthquake prediction and selection of VLB sites for the margins of the North Pacific [PDF]

Projects studying different aspects of crustal deformation are discussed. The rifting process at the plate boundary in northern Iceland was investigated using combined seismic, tilt, and displacement measurements. Stresses acting on the Alpine fault, New
