Is there a climatic control on Icelandic volcanism?
The evidence for periods of increased volcanic activity following deglaciation, such as following ice sheet retreat after the Last Glacial Maximum, has been examined in several formerly glaciated areas, including Iceland, Alaska, and the Andean Southern ...

Abstract Borneo is a key piece of the regional tectonic puzzle of southeast Asia and a unique location to study subduction termination, particularly in the north. The tectonic history of Sabah in northern Borneo includes elements of five different subduction events: (a) westward Triassic Palaeo‐Pacific (∼240–200 Ma); (b) southward Cretaceous proto ...

Altimetry data and the elastic stress tensor of subduction zones [PDF]
The stress field in the lithosphere caused by the distribution of density anomalies associated to the geoidal undulations observed by the GEOS-3 and SEASAT Earth satellites in the Tonga region was studied.

Interplay Between Salt Tectonics and a Large Igneous Province in the Espírito Santo Basin (Brazil)
Abstract Salt tectonics provinces host numerous resources and are now targeted as potential areas of development for energy storage capacities such as underground storage in salt caverns. Sedimentary basins containing salt structures are common at passive margins where volcanic rocks, emplaced either during the lithospheric breakup or the post‐rift ...

We compile global maps of the step-wise topography corrected and crustal components stripped geoids based on the geopotential model EGM’08 complete to spheri- cal harmonic degree 180 and the CRUST 2.0 global crustal model.

Crustal structure and growth of the Forearc region of Izu-Ogasawara arc [PDF]
(独)海洋研究開発機構(JAMSTEC)では、2002年から伊豆・小笠原・マリアナ島弧において、大陸地殻の生成過程を明らかにすることを目的に構造調査を進め、現在の島弧地殻のボリュームより多くの玄武岩マグマが必要で島弧地殻を生成する過程でマフィックな島弧地殻の一部をマントル内に戻していること(Takahashi et al., 2007, 2008; Tatsumi et al., 2008)、火山フロントと背弧側の地殻の厚さ分布には相関があり過去のリフティングが検出されたこと(Kodaira et al.

Abstract Ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is detectable in geodetic height time series and changes in the temporal gravity field. Global GIA models are often used to remove these signals from data but quantifying the errors in such models is difficult due to insufficient knowledge of Earth rheology and past ice history.

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

Enceladus is characterised by a south polar hot spot associated with a large outflow of heat, the source of which remains unclear. We compute the viscous dissipation resulting from tidal and libration forcing in the moon's subsurface ocean using the ...

Neotectonics of the ocean-continent transition zone in the Côte d'Ivoire region (West Africa)
Structural and geophysical indicators of neotectonics in the area of the continental margin of Côte d'Ivoire are represented in three interacting zones: oceanic, continental and transitional.
