Abstract The interaction between aging oceanic plates and their underlying mantle is a crucial component of the plate tectonic cycle. Sub‐lithospheric small‐scale convection (SSC) explains why plates appear not to thicken after a certain age. Here, we link grain‐scale processes, dynamic models of asthenospheric flow, and seismic observations to gain ...

Moho Depth Disposition of the Contiguous United States: A Multi‐Modal Data Driven Approach
Abstract Precise determination of Moho depth is essential for understanding lithospheric deformation, lower crustal rheology, and crust‐mantle interactions. This study employs a Random Forest Regressor (RFR) model to predict Moho depth across the contiguous United States using a variety of geophysical data, including gravity anomalies, topography, heat

REHEATFUNQ (REgional HEAT-Flow Uncertainty and aNomaly Quantification) 2.0.1: a model for regional aggregate heat flow distributions and anomaly quantification [PDF]
Surface heat flow is a geophysical variable that is affected by a complex combination of various heat generation and transport processes. The processes act on different lengths scales, from tens of meters to hundreds of kilometers.

Revised Oceanic Plate Cooling Models
Abstract Global age‐depth and heat flow observations provide constraints for cooling and subsidence of oceanic plates. Numerous studies have addressed this problem, which has a bearing upon the calibration of shear‐wave tomographic models and upon lithospheric rheology.

Abstract Reprocessed and newly acquired seismic data provide new constraints on lithospheric flexure profiles beneath the Hawaiian Islands. We use these new observations and three‐dimensional numerical models of lithospheric deformation combining elasticity, brittle failure, low‐temperature plasticity (LTP) and high‐temperature creep deformation ...

Behavioral modeling of integrated phase-change photonic devices for neuromorphic computing applications [PDF]
The combination of phase-change materials and integrated photonics has led to the development of new forms of all-optical devices, including photonic memories, arithmetic and logic processors, and synaptic and neuronal mimics. Such devices can be readily

Abstract Deep (>∼ ${ >} \sim $20 km) crustal seismicity is typically associated with cold Precambrian lithosphere. However, previous studies have reported that the depth above which 90% of seismicity occurs (D90) in the Southland region of New Zealand is 30–35 km, even though it is situated in relatively young Mesozoic crust at the eastern edge of the ...

Abstract Gravity data provide constraints on lateral subsurface density variations and thus provide crucial insights into the geological evolution of the region. Previously, gravity data from the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard comprised an onshore regional gravity database with coarse station spacing of 2–20 km, offshore gravity profiles ...
