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

open access: yesГеодинамика 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.

New Insights Into Lithospheric Structure and Melting Beneath the Colorado Plateau

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Colorado Plateau and its surroundings serve as an archetypal case to investigate the interaction of mantle melting processes and lithospheric structure.

Negative Residual Topography in Global Back‐Arc Basins Scales With Slab Dip

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract Dynamic topography above subduction zones is widely inferred, but its magnitude and controls remain poorly constrained at the global scale. Here, we estimate residual topography across a range of back‐arc basins by correcting bathymetry for sediment loading, crustal structure, and lithospheric age, and compare the anomalies with slab geometry ...

Tectonics on Early Earth Driven by Earth's Changing Shape During Tidal Recession of the Moon

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Few fragments of Earth's earliest crust have survived, and so this formative period of our planet's history is shrouded in mystery. To leverage the limited data available, it is important to understand all the processes that could have shaped our young planet.

State of Stress in Subduction Zone Forearcs: Influence of the Mantle Wedge Corner and Serpentinization

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract We investigate the role of the elasticity and density of the forearc mantle wedge corner on the stress distribution in the forearc region of subduction zones, using numerical quasi‐2D lithospheric deformation models for the Cascadia, Nankai, NE Japan, and Costa Rica subduction zones. We incorporate the forearc mantle wedge corner as an elastic

Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and perisphere [PDF]

open access: yesReviews 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.

Full Waveform Modeling of Bridgmanite Fabric‐Induced Seismic Discontinuities in the Mid‐Mantle: Implications for Double Underside Reflections Beneath Subduction Zones

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Mid‐mantle (660–2,000 km) seismic observations are commonly attributed to thermo‐chemical heterogeneities or phase transitions, yet many observed features remain difficult to reconcile with these mechanisms alone. It has been shown that the depth‐dependent behavior of bridgmanite deformation generates a strain‐induced seismic discontinuity ...

Role of Post‐Collisional Magmatism in Continental Growth and Reworking Since the Late Archean

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms responsible for the formation and compositional evolution of continental crust remain central questions in Earth science. Post‐collisional magmatism is widely preserved in the continental record; however, its contribution to crustal growth may be underestimated because enriched isotopic signatures obscure juvenile mantle input ...

Magnetotelluric Constraints on the Temperature, Composition, Partial Melt Content, and Viscosity of the Upper Mantle Beneath Svalbard

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) data can be used to interpret upper mantle temperature, hydrogen content, and the presence of partial melt, all of which strongly influence mantle viscosity. We have collected the first long‐period MT data in Svalbard and
