Shear-Wave Splitting and Mantle Flow Beneath the Colorado Plateau and its Boundary with the Great Basin [PDF]

, 2008
Shear-wave splitting measurements from SKS and SKKS phases show fast polarization azimuths that are subparallel to North American absolute plate motion within the central Rio Grande Rift (RGR) and Colorado Plateau (CP) through to the western rim of the ...

Lithospheric structure based on integrated analysis of geological-geophysical data along the DOBREfraction’99/DOBRE-2 profile (the East European Platform —the East Black Sea Basin)

Геофизический журнал, 2018
The continuous DOBREfraction’99/DOBRE-2 WARR and CDP profile of 775 km length with about 100 km overlap was acquired by an international team from Ukraine, Poland, Denmark, USA, Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and Norway in 1996 and 2007 ...

The transition zone as a host for recycled volatiles: Evidence from nitrogen and carbon isotopes in ultra-deep diamonds from Monastery and Jagersfontein (South Africa) [PDF]

, 2017
Sublithospheric (ultra-deep) diamonds provide a unique window into the deepest parts of Earth's mantle, which otherwise remain inaccessible. Here, we report the first combined C- and N-isotopic data for diamonds from the Monastery and Jagersfontein ...

The application of a gravimetric forward modelling of the lithospheric structure for an estimate of the average density of the upper asthenosphere

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
The average density of 3300 kg m−3 is often attributed for the asthenosphere. In this study, we inspect this value by estimating the average value of the (upper) asthenosphere based on applying the gravimetric forward modelling of major known ...

The Influence of Lithospheric Thickness Variations Beneath Australia on Seismic Anisotropy and Mantle Flow

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Rapid plate motion, alongside pronounced variations in age and thickness of the Australian continental lithosphere, makes it an excellent location to assess the relationship between seismic anisotropy and lithosphere‐asthenosphere dynamics. In this study,

Upper Mantle Anisotropic Shear Velocity Structure at the Equatorial Mid‐Atlantic Ridge Constrained by Rayleigh Wave Group Velocity Analysis From the PI‐LAB Experiment

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The evolution of ocean lithosphere and asthenosphere are fundamental to plate tectonics, yet high resolution imaging is rare. We present shear wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy models for the upper mantle from Rayleigh wave group velocities from ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]

, 2010
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]

, 2010
With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the

THE MIOCENE AND DEVONIAN MAGMATISM AT THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE TUVA-MONGOLIAN MASSIF AND SIBERIAN CRATON: COMMON COMPONENT OF MANTLE SOURCES AND ITS ORIGIN

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Devonian dikes of the Urik-Belaya and Shagayte-Gol-Urik zones and Miocene lavas of the Urik volcanic field are spatially associated with each other at the structural junction between the Neoproterozoic Tuva-Mongolian massif and Siberian craton.
