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 ...

The crustal thickness of Australia [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000 We investigate the crustal structure of the Australian continent using the temporary broadband stations of the Skippy and Kimba projects and permanent broadband stations. We isolate near‐receiver information, in the form of crustal P‐to‐S conversions, using the receiver function technique.

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023 To know the crustal structure, composition, deformation, and evolution, it is crucial to appreciate the ratio between the velocity of the primary wave and the velocity of the secondary wave, Poisson's ratio, and crustal thickness.

Gravity‐Derived Antarctic Crustal Thickness Based on the Gauss‐FFT Method
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The information on crustal thickness in Antarctica can provide significant constraints on its crustal deformation and tectonic evolution. To generate reliable images of crustal features, we investigate the model of Moho depth and crustal thickness ...

Record of Crustal Thickening and Synconvergent Extension from the Dajiamang Tso Rift, Southern Tibet
Geosciences, 2021 North-trending rifts throughout south-central Tibet provide an opportunity to study the dynamics of synconvergent extension in contractional orogenic belts.

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Crustal Structure in the Eurasian Basin
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 To understand the tectonic–magmatic history, crustal structure and crustal accretion mode of the Eurasian Basin in the Arctic, we calculated the crustal thickness, residual bathymetry (RB) and non-isostatic topography of the Eurasian Basin by using the ...

Future accreted terranes: a compilation of island arcs, oceanic plateaus, submarine ridges, seamounts, and continental fragments [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Allochthonous accreted terranes are exotic geologic units that originated from anomalous crustal regions on a subducting oceanic plate and were transferred to the overriding plate by accretionary processes during subduction. The geographical regions that
