Asthenosphere flow and plate motions [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1978 Summary. A dynamical theory of flow in the asthenosphere is developed by treating it as a thin layer of Newtonian viscous fluid, pushed horizontally by the dense sinking slabs attached to some plates and by the differences in heating under continental and oceanic crust.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.The Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis (EHS), which is located at the southeastern edge of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, is a key region for understanding mountain‐building and subduction processes. Bouguer gravity anomalies derived from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 free‐air anomaly data following topographic corrections, were analyzed.

Computation of a combined spherical-elastic and viscous-half-space earth model for ice sheet simulation [PDF]
, 2006 This report starts by describing the continuum model used by Lingle & Clark (1985) to approximate the deformation of the earth under changing ice sheet and ocean loads.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract The formation of wide, magma‐starved continent–ocean transition (COT) zones remains incompletely understood. We use 2‐D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments, coupling hydrous mantle melting with parameterized crustal accretion, to explore controls on magmatic lag: the delay between continental crustal break‐up and steady oceanic crustal ...

New Insights Into the Cooling of the Oceanic Lithosphere From Surface‐Wave Tomographic Inferences
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract How oceanic plates cool and thicken with age remains a subject to debate, with several thermal models supported by apparently contradictory data. Combining a novel imaging technique that balances resolution and uncertainty with finite‐frequency surface‐wave measurements, we build tomographic model SS3DPacific to revisit the cooling style of ...

Dynamic evolution of changbaishan volcanism in Northeast China illuminated by machine learning
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Previous studies propose that there is a mantle upwelling that generated the Cenozoic basalts in Changbaishan. However, the dominant source and mechanism of the mantle upwelling remains highly debated.
