Bayesian Modeling of Crustal Azimuthal Anisotropy Supports Partial Crust–Mantle Anisotropic Decoupling in a Continental Back‐Arc, Northeast China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract How crustal deformation responds to complex mantle flow in continental back‐arc settings remains poorly constrained. Here, we develop a Bayesian working‐likelihood approach to estimate crust‐averaged azimuthal anisotropy from P‐wave receiver functions. The method separates crust‐averaged velocity anisotropy from dip‐related apparent anisotropy

MODELLING OF POSTSEISMIC PROCESSES IN SUBDUCTION ZONES

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Large intraplate subduction earthquakes are generally accompanied by prolonged and intense postseismic anomalies. In the present work, viscoelastic relaxation in the upper mantle and the asthenosphere is considered as a main mechanism responsible for the

Fault‐controlled uplift segmentation and crust–mantle heterogeneity in the topographic evolution of the Sındırgı Segment (Western Anatolia) ruptured during the 2025 M6.1 earthquake sequence

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swath profile along the Sındırgı Segment. Grey curves show minimum, mean and maximum elevations, and the thick grey line shows elevation‐corrected Moho depth. Coloured circles indicate relative rock uplift from river‐profile inversion while the red curve shows cumulative uplift.

HIGH-MG LAVAS FROM THE DARIGANGA VOLCANIC FIELD IN THE SOUTHEASTERN MONGOLIA: PETROGENETIC MODEL OF MAGMATISM AT THE ASTHENOSPHERE–LITHOSPHERE BOUNDARY

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
It is revealed that high-Mg lavas (MgO=11.0–15.8 wt. %) are spatially controlled by linear zones extending for more than 90 km and demonstrate chemically distinct differences from moderately-Mg compositions (MgO=3.0–11.0 wt.

Tracing Continental Basalt Sources and Mantle Processes Using Fe Stable Isotopes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Iron (Fe) isotopes have emerged as powerful tracers of mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes, yet the mechanisms producing heavy Fe isotope signatures (high δ57Fe values) in intraplate basalts remain debated. Competing interpretations include partial melting of recycled pyroxenite domains versus carbonate‐induced oxidation of a ...

SOURCES OF QUATERNARY POTASSIC VOLCANIC ROCKS FROM WUDALIANCHI, CHINA: CONTROL BY TRANSTENSION AT THE LITHOSPHERE–ASTHENOSPHERE BOUNDARY LAYER

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2016
Introduction. Transtension is a system of stresses that tends to cause oblique extension, i.e. combined extension and strike slip. Syn-volcanic transtensional deformations of the lithosphere may provide two possible scenarios for control of magmatic ...

Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and perisphere [PDF]

Reviews of Geophysics, 1995
“Lithosphere” is a mechanical concept implying strength and relative permanence. Unfortunately, the term has also been applied to the surface thermal boundary layer (TBL) and a shallow enriched geochemical reservoir, features having nothing to do with strength. The “strong” lithosphere is about one half the thickness of the TBL.

Thermochemical Controls on the X, 410, and 660 Discontinuities in the Central Mediterranean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean is thermally and compositionally heterogeneous, as indicated by fragmented and locally stagnant slabs in tomographic images and HIMU‐like anorogenic magmatism. Mantle discontinuities are sensitive to both temperature and composition, and thus provide a way to quantify these heterogeneities.

New Constraints on the Calabrian Arc (Central Mediterranean) Geodynamics: High‐Resolution Imaging of Lithospheric and Upper Mantle Discontinuities From P and S Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters
The Calabrian Arc subduction system (Central Mediterranean) is characterized by a deep and narrow (200 km) slab. Addressing the poorly understood link between shallow and deep mantle structures, we present the first high‐resolution mapping of crustal and

PLUTONIC STRUCTURE OF THE DEEP-SEA BASINS IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK REGION

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The original continental crust of the deep-sea basins in the Sea of Okhotsk region was considerably reworked by tectonic and magmatic processes, whereby it has become substantially denser while less thick.
