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 ...

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]

, 2006
Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

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 ...

Application of a Premelting Model to the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
A seismic discontinuity known as the G‐discontinuity, which has been prevailingly detected in the oceanic mantle, is considered to provide evidence of a sharp lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB). We investigate whether this sharp LAB is explained by

COMPOSITIONAL AND THERMAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LITHOSPHERIC AND ASTHENOSPHERIC MANTLE AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CONTINENTAL DELAMINATION

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The lower part of lithosphere in collisional orogens may delaminate due to density inversion between the asthenosphere and the cold thickened lithospheric mantle. Generally, standard delamination models have neglected density changes within the crust and

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.

Carbonatite Melts and Electrical Conductivity in the Asthenosphere [PDF]

Science, 2008
Electrically conductive regions in Earth's mantle have been interpreted to reflect the presence of either silicate melt or water dissolved in olivine. On the basis of laboratory measurements, we show that molten carbonates have electrical conductivities that are three orders of magnitude higher than those of molten silicate and five orders of magnitude

The latest geodynamics in Central Asia: primary and secondary mantle melting anomalies in the context of orogenesis, rifting, and lithospheric plate motions and interactions

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
A comprehensive model for deep dynamics in Asia has been developed from the data on the evolution of melting anomalies in the context of lithospheric plate motions, interactions, orogeny, and rifting.

Buoyant Asthenosphere Beneath Cascadia Influences Megathrust Segmentation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
Great megathrust earthquakes (magnitude 8+) do not typically rupture an entire convergent margin but rather are limited to one or more along‐strike segments.

Viscoelastic relaxation of the upper mantle and afterslip following the 2014 MW8.1 Iquique earthquake

Earthquake Research Advances, 2021
An improved understanding of postseismic crustal deformation following large subduction earthquakes may help to better understand the rheological properties of upper mantle and the slip behavior of subduction interface.
