The Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere System Beneath the North Atlantic and Surroundings: Results From Multi‐Observable Probabilistic Inversions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The North Atlantic region is a complex geodynamic setting that comprises multiple continental blocks, sedimentary basins, mid‐ocean ridge systems and prominent hotspots.

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.

New Insights Into Lithospheric Structure and Melting Beneath the Colorado Plateau

Geochemistry, 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.

Slip‐Deficit Rate Distribution Along the Nankai Trough, Southwest Japan, With Elastic Lithosphere and Viscoelastic Asthenosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2017
In southwest Japan, great earthquakes have occurred on the plate interface along the Nankai trough with a recurrence time of approximately 100 years.

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.

The relationship between upper mantle anisotropic structures beneath California, transpression, and absolute plate motions [PDF]

, 2011
We calculated SKS splitting parameters for the California Integrated Seismic Network. In southern California, we also estimated splitting in the upper 100 km using azimuthal anisotropy determined from surface waves.

Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 106-115, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

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.

Recovery of an oxidized majorite inclusion from Earth’s deep asthenosphere

Science Advances, 2017
Novel discovered majorite from a depth of at least 380 km provides unique window into the redox state and dynamics of the mantle. Minerals recovered from the deep mantle provide a rare glimpse into deep Earth processes.

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, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract 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 upper mantle discontinuities across the Calabrian Arc and Southern Tyrrhenian basin.
