Maximum-likelihood estimation of lithospheric flexural rigidity, initial-loading fraction, and load correlation, under isotropy

open access: yes, 2013
Topography and gravity are geophysical fields whose joint statistical structure derives from interface-loading processes modulated by the underlying mechanics of isostatic and flexural compensation in the shallow lithosphere.

Insights Into Intraplate Stresses and Geomorphology in the Southeastern United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
The stress field in the eastern United States is commonly considered to be broadly uniform and due to homogeneous far‐field forces; however, modern and geologic stress indicators in this region show substantial heterogeneity.

Satellite magnetic modeling of north African hot spots [PDF]

open access: yes
The primary objectives of the MAGSAT mission was to measure the intensity and direction of magnetization of the Earth's crust. A significant effort was directed to the large crustal anomalies first delineated by the POGO mission.

3-D numerical model of the flexural isostatic response to extension induced by crustal scale listric normal faulting [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2003
The flexural isostatic response of the lithosphere, induced by listric normal faulting, is modeled by assuming that simple-shear extension takes place in the brittle upper crust while the lower crust and upper mantle extend in pure shear.

Crustal Structure in Alaska From Receiver Function Analysis

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
New maps of crustal thickness and Vp/Vs in Alaska and western Canada were obtained using P receiver functions recorded at 198 stations from the USArray Transportable Array and the Alaska Regional Network.

Comparisons of global topographic/isostatic models to the Earth's observed gravity field [PDF]

open access: yes
The Earth's gravitational potential, as described by a spherical harmonic expansion to degree 180, was compared to the potential implied by the topography and its isostatic compensation using five different hypothesis.

Topographic features around Syowa Station as viewed from the gravity measurements -Some implications on the bedrock topography under the ice sheet-

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1984
The coefficients of the correlation between the reduced gravity anomaly and the bedrock height were calculated using gravity data in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region and the Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica.

Differential extension and dynamic model of the deep-water area of the Pearl River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2017
Based on the flexural-cantilever model and flexural isostasy model, three independent quantitative methods have been used to calculate the stretching factors of the upper crust, whole crust, and whole lithosphere in the deep-water area of the Pearl River

GRAVSAT error analysis by means of global spectral analyses of the marine geoid from SEASAT altimeter data [PDF]

open access: yes
The geographical variability of short wavelength geoid power spectra (geoid roughness), was mapped for the world's oceans between latitudes 72 deg N and 72 deg S. A spectral analysis of SEASAT altimeter data, reduced to sea surface heights, was performed
