Crustal Configuration and Seismic Stability of the Eastern Indian Shield and Adjoining Regions: Insights for Incidents of Great Earthquakes in the Nepal-Bihar-Sikkim Himalaya

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Eastern Indian Shield (EIS) is comprised of the intracratonic (coal-bearing) Damodar Gondwana basin, rift-controlled extensional Lower Gangetic basin (LGB), and the downward flexed Indo-Gangetic basin (IGB).

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

On Vening Meinesz-Moritz and flexural theories of isostasy and their comparison over Tibet Plateau

open access: yesJournal of Geodetic Science, 2016
Gravity and topographic/bathymetric data are used for gravimetric modelling of Moho discontinuity by hydrostatic or flexural theories of the isostasy. Here, two hydrostatic models, based on the Vening Meinesz-Moritz (VMM) principle, and two based on the ...

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the

SEISMIC INHOMOGENEITIES IN THE UPPER CRUST OF THE ALDAN-STANOVOY SHIELD AND IN ITS TOTAL CRUST (PROFILE 3-DV)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023
In accordance with the detailed first-arrival data, the near-surface part of the Earth’s crust consists of three layers. The upper discontinuous layer is represented by the Mesocenozoic deposits in local basins.

Bathymetry predicted from vertical gravity gradient anomalies and ship soundings

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2014
In this paper, the admittance function between seafloor undulations and vertical gravity gradient anomalies was derived. Based on this admittance function, the bathymetry model of 1 minute resolution was predicted from vertical gravity gradient anomalies

Computation of a combined spherical-elastic and viscous-half-space earth model for ice sheet simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This report starts by describing the continuum model used by Lingle & Clark (1985) to approximate the deformation of the earth under changing ice sheet and ocean loads.

Effect of Ocean Fluid Changes on Pressure on the Seafloor: Ocean Assimilation Data Analysis on Warm-Core Rings off the Southeastern Coast of Hokkaido, Japan on an Interannual Timescale

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The relationship between sea surface height (SSH) and seawater density anomalies, which affects the pressure on the seafloor (PSF) anomalies off the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan, was analyzed using the eddy-resolving spatial resolution ocean ...

Cenozoic evolution of the eastern Black Sea: a test of depth-dependent stretching models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Subsidence analysis of the eastern Black Sea basin suggests that the stratigraphy of this deep, extensional basin can be explained by a predominantly pure-shear stretching history.

Isostasy and seismisity

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2018
A model of the Earth crust structure formed by gravitation of the planet has been considered. An important role in this structure is given to isostasy processes. Analysis of results of seismic exploration by reflected waves method allows to suggest that
