Evolution of the Upper Crustal Deformation in Subduction Zones [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 2006 The uplift and evolution of a noncollisional orogen developed along a subduction zone, such as the Andean system, is a direct consequence of the interrelation between plate tectonic stresses and erosion. Tectonic stresses are related to the convergence velocity and thermal state, among other causes.

Measuring and modelling deformation during the Dabbahu (Afar) rifting episode [PDF]
, 2010 In September 2005, a 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia), marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

The influence of surface clinker on the crustal structures and dynamics of 'a'ā lava flows. [PDF]
, 2010 Surface structures on 'a'ā and blocky lavas reflect the internal flow dynamics during emplacement and also influence the dynamics of developing flows.

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
, 2003 I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

Crustal flow beneath Iceland [PDF]
, 2005 Theoretical and experimental studies indicate that when oceanic crust is hotter than about 800°C, variations in crustal thickness drive lower crustal flow.

Towards using seismic anisotropy to interpret ductile deformation in mafic lower crust [PDF]
, 2008 The lower crust forms an important geodynamic control in continental tectonics and the communication and coupling of kinematics between surface and deep-Earth processes.

Earth and Space Science, 2023 By harmonically fitting the arrival times of the P‐to‐S converted phases from the Moho, we systematically investigate the crustal anisotropy beneath the Cathaysia Block (CaB) and the surrounding areas in South China for the first time.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Understanding the mechanisms of crustal deformation along convergent margins is critical to identifying seismogenic structures and assessing earthquake hazards for nearby urban centers. In the southern central Andes (28–33 $$^{\circ }$$ ∘ S), differences

The large-scale surface uplift in the Altiplano-Puna region of Bolivia: A parametric study of source characteristics and crustal rheology using finite element analysis [PDF]
, 2013 This paper focuses on the driving mechanism behind a 70 km wide region of ground uplift centered on Uturuncu volcano, in the Altiplano-Puna region of southern Bolivia.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The mechanisms driving crustal deformation and uplift of orogenic plateaus are fundamental to continental tectonics. Large‐scale crustal flow has been hypothesized to occur in eastern Tibet, but it remains controversial due to a lack of geologic evidence.
