A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Inverse problem for the gravimetric modeling of the crust-mantle density contrast
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2013 The gravimetric inverse problem for finding the Moho density contrast is formulated in this study. The solution requires that the crust density structure and the Moho depths are a priori known, for instance, from results of seismic studies.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract Ocean bottom pressure recordings are a key observation for both ocean circulation and seafloor geodesy. New self‐calibrating instruments may solve a long‐time issue of instrument drift, allowing new high precision observations. However, instruments on the seafloor may settle over days to months, potentially contaminating results.

Is there a climatic control on Icelandic volcanism?
Quaternary Science Advances, 2020 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 ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 36-60, January 2026.ABSTRACT Only one last interglacial relative sea‐level indicator point (SLIP) has been recognised for Fenland, eastern England, and the nearest penultimate interglacial SLIP is located on the north Norfolk coast. Such limited information restricts the regional input to, and hence the relevance of, global reconstructions of late Middle and Late ...

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.

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Salt tectonics at rifted margins involves intricate interactions between weak, viscous evaporite layers and brittle sedimentary rocks. Geophysical data and geological interpretation offer valuable insights into evaporite structure formation and the average translation rate of evaporite and sediment layers on time scales of several million ...

Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2009 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.
