Mercury's Crustal Thickness and Contractional Strain [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractThe crust of Mercury has experienced contraction on a global scale. Contractional deformation is expressed by a broadly distributed network of lobate thrust fault scarps. The most likely principal source of stress is global contraction from cooling of Mercury's interior.

Magmatic intrusions control Io's crustal thickness [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020 Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, loses heat through eruptions of hot lava. Heat is supplied by tidal heating and is thought to be transferred through the mantle by magmatic segregation, a mode of transport that sets it apart ...

地震科学进展, 2021 In this study，we used high signal-to-noise ratio teleseismic wave form data with an epicenter 30°—90° and the magnitude above 5.5 （including 5.5） of Xiangfan seismic station recorded during 2015—2018 to calculate the receiver functions using the time ...

Inverting Rayleigh surface wave velocities for crustal thickness in eastern Tibet and the western Yangtze craton based on deep learning neural networks [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2019 Crustal thickness is an important factor affecting lithospheric structure and deep geodynamics. In this paper, a deep learning neural network based on a stacked sparse auto-encoder is proposed for the inversion of crustal thickness in eastern Tibet and ...

CRUSTAL THICKNESS VARIATIONS AND SEISMICITY OF NORTHWESTERN SOUTH AMERICA
Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2007 Any uncompensated mass of the northern Andes Mountains is presumably under pressure to adjust within the Earth to its ideal state of isostatic equilibrium. Isostasy is the ideal state that any<br />uncompensated mass seeks to achieve in time. These

Crustal thicknesses in Fennoscandia [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1980 b As a supplement to seismic profiling surveys, crustal thicknesses have been estimated for 11 Fennoscandian seismograph stations equipped with three-component long period instruments, using the so-called spectral ratio technique of Phinney. The largest Moho depths, of the order of 45 km, were found for stations located in the north-east areas ...

Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis
Earthquake Science, 2022 The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important

Using Tidally‐Driven Elastic Strains to Infer Regional Variations in Crustal Thickness at Enceladus
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Constraining the spatial variability of the thickness of the ice shell of Enceladus (i.e., the crust) is central to our understanding of the internal dynamics and evolution of this small Saturnian moon.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The North China Craton underwent extensive and widespread crustal reworking (or decratonization) during the Mesozoic. However, how the decratonization operated is not well understood.

PHILCRUST3.0: New constraints in crustal growth rate computations for the Philippine arc
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020 A revised crustal thickness map for the Philippine island arc, PHILCRUST3.0, has been generated using new gravity data from the EGM2008. The gravity-derived crustal thickness is compared with crustal thickness estimates obtained using the Sr/Y ratios ...
