Cenozoic plate driving forces [PDF]
, 1995 Past studies of plate driving forces have concluded that the forces due to subducted slabs in the upper mantle and those due to the thickening of the oceanic lithosphere are the principal driving forces. We reexamine the balance of driving forces for the

IODP Expedition 310 Reconstructs Sea Level, Climatic, and Environmental Changes in the South Pacific during the Last Deglaciation [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2007 The timing and course of the last deglaciation (19,000–6,000 years BP) are essential components for understanding the dynamics of large ice sheets (Lindstrom and MacAyeal, 1993) and their effects on Earth’s isostasy (Nakada and Lambeck, 1989; Lambeck ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 In this work, we study the lithospheric structure of the British Isles using a methodology that allows for forward modeling of the Curie temperature depth based on seismic, elevation and gravity observations within an integrated geophysical-petrological ...

On the More Complex Wavelength Dependency of Airy Isostasy in Icy Shells of Ocean Worlds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The topography of ocean worlds is often used to infer ice shell thicknesses by assuming topography is compensated by a basal root. We systematically test the stability of isostatically compensated topography in ice shells. At short horizontal wavelengths,

Rheology of the Indian and Tarim plates in the Karakoram continent-to-continent collision zone
Annals of Geophysics, 1997 Bouguer gravity anomalies in the region of Western Himalayas, Karakoram and Tien Shan show large negative values, but classical isostatic models are insufficient to account for the detailed pattern of the observed anomalies.

Remote Sensing, 2020 The present study deals with the morphometric quantification of erosion and illustrates the uplift component triggered by denudation (isostasy) in the growth and evolution of a rising orogeny by the application of Airy isostasy concepts.

Widespread erosion on high plateaus during recent glaciations in Scandinavia [PDF]
, 2018 Glaciers create some of Earth’s steepest topography; yet, many areas that were repeatedly overridden by ice sheets in the last few million years include extensive plateaus.

Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2019 The structure of a spatial-temporal distribution of seismic activity along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) according to teleseismic data is characterized by areas of increased activity that are marked on spatial-temporal cross-sections with stripes of event

Modeling of the northern hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial cycle and glaciological sensitivity [PDF]
, 2005 We present a new three-dimensional thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model of the northern hemisphere to reconstruct the Quaternary ice sheets during the last glacial cycle.

Boreas, EarlyView.Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.
