Relationship between tectonic overpressure, deviatoric stress, driving force, isostasy and gravitational potential energy [PDF]
, 2017 We present analytical derivations and 2-D numerical simulations that quantify magnitudes of deviatoric stress and tectonic overpressure (i.e. difference between the pressure, or mean stress, and the lithostatic pressure) by relating them to lateral ...

Insights Into Intraplate Stresses and Geomorphology in the Southeastern United States
Geophysical 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.

A dynamic model of Venus's gravity field [PDF]
Unlike Earth, long wavelength gravity anomalies and topography correlate well on Venus. Venus's admittance curve from spherical harmonic degree 2 to 18 is inconsistent with either Airy or Pratt isostasy, but is consistent with dynamic support from mantle

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

Journal 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

Satellite magnetic modeling of north African hot spots [PDF]
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.

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